Thanks.

The results are mostly tweaked files in /etc, which is not in /usr,
which was the problem filesystem, so I should be ok there.  I'm puzzled
by a symlink complaint, though:

/usr/src/contrib/tcpdump/README is a symlink, should be a regular file

It's a symlink to README.md, which seems reasonable and deliberate.

For future disasters...
If I needed to, is there a master easy to get at that I can diff against
to see what the changes to things like /etc/passwd are?
I could regenerate the .db files if I knew the source was ok, but to check
that I would need to be able to diff.
