I had this exactly this problem yesterday. I don't know exactly what was wrong, but I think it was some package or dependency that had ruined something in the pkgdb. I tried rebuilding the db with pkgdb, but it really didn't help. I had to remove "/var/db/pkg/flashpluginwrapper" that didn't show up when I ran pkg_info. After that, no problem.
