Default SOLVED

SOLVED -- (for 9.x)

I just had to wait

As a note to people wanting to upgrade packages to the latest quarter, you should use port pkgin, it makes things easier.

But I got odd messages when doing a pkgin, which I ignored for a while. Seems I had entries in /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf that caused issues. The pkgsrc docs with comments in the file confused me a bit. (Thanks to @Riastradh in #pkgsrc on liberachat on setting me straight)

This shows what to do:
  1. wait for binaries to be built
  2. Modify /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf as noted below

Change Entry From
https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/9.0/All
TO
https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/9.0_2022Q2/All

The do a `pkgin upgrade` as root once packages are built.

That is how I was able to upgrade packages to the latest quarterly without any issues.
