pkg thinks a package is installed, but its files aren't

[tautolog at gmail.com]

I recently got that, and I resolved it by deleting all of my packages and installing the non-auto packages from before I deleted. I used the command in the pkg man page to dump all non-auto packages first. Not the best solution, but it worked.

Subject: pkg thinks a package is installed, but its files aren't

I tried to build one of my projects and it told me that cmake requires a 
version of libexpat that isn't installed.

Should I file a bug in pkg? Its version is 1.4.6.
