<question id="convert-back-from-pkgng">
<para>How can I convert from pkgng to the old package
tools?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Short answer: it is not possible.</para>
<para>Longer answer: if you have made any changes using
<command>pkg</command> converting back is non-trivial and
requires lots of manual editing of internal package
database files. However, if you have just run
<command>pkg2ng</command> then you may remove
<filename>/var/db/pkg/local.sqlite</filename>
and extract
<filename>/var/backups/pkgdb.bak.tbz</filename>.
