Hi Folks, I recently upgraded a 4.4 system to 4.5. I followed the Upgrade Guide, not using sysmerge. The upgrade went more-or-less ok. After that, I wanted to install the five patches on the 4.5 errata page.
I copied src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz (for v4.5) from a mirror, unpacked them in /usr/src, applied the first patch (libssl) and my make failed at some point with errors. I removed the /usr/src tree, and created it again from scratch. I tried the make again (without applying patch) and it failed again, so I concluded I need to sync with CVS. This seems weird. I would have thought the src/sys tars would be clean... I updated the tree from CVS using: cd /usr/src && cvs up -r OPENBSD_4_5_BASE -Pd as documented in release(8). I repeated my attempt to make libssl, which was successful. I applied the rest of the patches, (aucat and 3 kernel patches), built a new kernel (GENERIC.MP), installed it, and rebooted. First I had to figure out that /sbin/ifconfig was hosed and rebuilt it. (it got hosed/installed when I did the "make install" for /usr/src/sbin after building libssl. I'm not sure why.) Now I get the following messages at boot (10 repetitions): sysctl: fourth level name dad_pending in net.inet6.ip6.dad_pending is invalid which is in the v4.5 /etc/netstart script. According to a mail from Stuard Henderson, this means my kernel and userland are out of sync. It's not clear to me how this could be, as /etc/netstart is v4.5 and the src/sys sources I used also. Can someone shed some light on this problem? thanks, Rob Urban
