Hello everybody,

I am trying to do a fresh install using a current snapshot (tried it with the snapshot from yesterday and today) on i386. I am downloading from 'mirror.switch.ch' and 'ftp.de.openbsd.org'. After installation, I try to install some packages that I need (from pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386).

I get the report of a wrong libc available:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
# pkg_add libiconv-1.9.2p3.tgz
Can't install libiconv-1.9.2p3.tgz: lib not found c.39.3
Even by looking in the dependency tree:

Maybe it's in a dependent package, but not tagged with @lib ?
(check with pkg_info -K -L)
If you are still running 3.6 packages, update them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

As expected the libc is c.40.0

I assume that because of the imminent release of OpenBSD 4.0, the packages are not properly updated. But I cannot remember to have seen an announcement. It might very well be that I have missed it, as the signal to noise ration on this mailinglist has not been too good recently.

Do I have to switch to using ports? Any other fix for the problem?

Bernd
