Easiest to rebuild and install a fpc-package is:

cd packages/fcl-db
fppkg install -o -gl

You can omit the '-o -gl' part if you do not need debug-info.

Note that it will automatically rebuild and install all packages that 
depend on fcl-db.

The packages are installed in your user-profile in the fppkg-directory. 
You can safely remove those files to get rid of the changes.

Or you can uninstall the packages: 'fppkg uninstall <packagename>'
