In these moments I use portmanager -u which will check all the packages installed and their dependencies and reinstall what has been deleted or corrupted. Why it can do this? Because portmanager doesn't update the pkgdb before o after a package installation....So I use it for things that are broken, but for daily use y too slow IMO. Regards
