  1. Read the error message. Do you understand it?
  2. Determine which library is effected.
  3. Determine what program you were using that produced it.
  4. Follow the guidance I just posted above.
If you do not understand the message, or you are unable to determine which library is effected, or you do not know what program you were using:
  • Post the message in its entirety.
  • Tell us what you were doing at the time the message was produced.
  • Tell us where you saw the message -- on the console, in a particular log file, etc.

I have mentioned, in a number of your threads, that in order to use -current, the OpenBSD user is expected to be able to be able to keep third party programs in sync. Either you are having trouble upgrading -current, or you are having trouble with third party software sync. Perhaps you would have less trouble operating -release+errata or -stable instead of -current?



You have also been informed, more than once, that when upgrading you should not need to use pkg_delete; there is no reason to remove third party software -- OS upgrades do not remove old libraries third party software may depend upon. It appears you have not taken this advice and are still unnecessarily removing third party software as part of your upgrade procedure.
