using portupgrade version portupgrade-2.2.6_3,2

	
>Description:

If /var/db/pkg is changed while portupgrade is running, portupgrade fails.

	
>How-To-Repeat:

use portupgrade to upgrade a port where compiling takes a long time.

While portupgrade is compiling that port use another window to remove an
unneeded port. (with pkg_delete <pkgname>)

Even if the upgraded port is depenency-wise completely unrelated to the
deleted port, portupgrade fails as soon as the compile finishes:

** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
        ! net-p2p/amule2 (aMule-2.1.3_2)        (Failed to rewrite /var/db/pkg/ffmpeg-devel-2007.04.29_2/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory - /var/db/pkg/ffmpeg-devel-2007.04.29_2/+CONTENTS)

I think portupgrade shouldn't even try to touch this file. And earlier
versions of portupgrade did NOT fail in such a way.
