For anyone with backslashed +COMMENT files in /var/db/pkg, the 
following script can be used to clean them up. You could also wait 
until 5.1-RELEASE comes out, I suppose.

#!/bin/tcsh
cd /var/db/pkg

foreach dir (`/bin/ls|/usr/bin/grep -v pkgdb.db`)
   echo $dir; cd $dir; /bin/ls -l +COMMENT
   /usr/bin/sed 's/\\//g' +COMMENT > pkg-descr
   /bin/mv pkg-descr +COMMENT
   cd /var/db/pkg
end

exit
