I think Dale meant that the -MERGING- directory under /var/db/pkg/sys-fs was |
| 37 |
empty. |

This happened to me once too, and I asked about it here. As soon as someone |
| 40 |
said it was a temporary directory used during the merging of a package, all |
| 41 |
became clear - it should have been removed at the end of the merge but for |
| 42 |
some reason it hadn't. |
