Your package installation database records are stored in /var/db/pkg. Each installed package has a directory in this structure, containing specially named text files that begin with a "+" symbol. To address these files from your shell, you will have to either escape the symbol or address with a path, such as:

$ less ./+CONTENTS

It is my assumption that you have damaged this database.
