I went straight from 3.7 to 4.3

The problem appears to be solved.

After removing wget I could not add add new packages but discovered I could update old ones. Gettext was updated and now I can add packages aswell.

Thanks

After having moved 6 releases in a jump, you may find it easiest to deinstall every installed package, and reinstall those you need. You will not lose any configuration files, userids, or other structures. Just:

# cd /var/db/pkg
# pkg_delete *
# ls -a
# pkg_delete <any .libs* or partial* package still left in the directory>
# export PKG_PATH=<your nearest mirror>
# pkg_add `cat <your list of packages you want installed>`

It's not clear from your post how you upgraded from 3.7 to 4.3. The supported method requires six sequential upgrades. If you went through all of that, you are very patient, indeed.
