>Description:
I had to interrupt ./bootstrap and then re-launch it but error messages were shown. Apart from multiple identical bmake error messages, some advice was shown that bootstrap-mk-files should be removed. This happens after "rm -fr work" and even ./cleanup too. Fortunately, I know some of pkgsrc operation and it was no surprise for me that pkg_delete...bootstrap-mk-files... didn't work. Then trying after deleting /var/db/pkg and /usr/pkg succeeded.
>How-To-Repeat:
Interrupt ./bootstrap somewhen later in the process and try to re-launch it.
>Fix:
This kind of errors are hard to handle by newbie. Something should be cooked up so that error messages are meaningful.

Alternative "fix" is to document this situation and how to cope with it in bootstrap/README. BTW ./cleanup is not mentioned there too.

 Is the ./cleanup thing documented now?
