An "empty" +CONTENTS file indicates, once more, that you have a damaged package database. You now have TWO separate systems with damaged package databases.

Based on all of the information you have been able to share (among your many threads) leads me to the conclusion that something YOU are doing is causing this. What that is, I do not know.

The package database is only used by the pkg_* utilities.
