Hi, I have a mac mini (powerPC) running a small number of duties, and it = started giving me trouble today. i=E2=80=99ve been unable to use pkgin = to upgrade and update the packages on this machine ever since I upgraded = it to NetBSD 10. As of today, my apache server doesn=E2=80=99t work, and a bunch of = packages complain of missing libraries. I did not explicitly remove any = libraries, but I did do a pkgin update and pkgin upgrade. The apache = server idid its midnight restart and hasn=E2=80=99t worked since. I poked around on the web and found suggestions to re-install the base = files, which I tried. Unfortunately, the base files (for NetBSD 10.1) do = not contain the libraries that the packages are demanding. I am now = downloading 10.0, in hopes that I can find the files I need there. My main machine is NetBSD 9.x and its package collections appear to have = great support. Stuff breaks rarely and when it does, stuff gets fixed = quickly. I don=E2=80=99t get that feeling on PowerPC. My missing libraries are: /usr/lib/libarchive.so.5, needed by pkg_install-20250417 is not present = in this system. /usr/lib/libasn1.so.6, needed by heimdal-7.8.0nb13 is not present in = this system. /usr/lib/libblocklist.so.0, needed by stunnel-5.73 is not present in = this system. /usr/lib/libcom_err.so.4, needed by heimdal-7.8.0nb13 is not present in = this system. /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.15, needed by apache-2.4.65 is not present in this = system. /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3, needed by heimdal-7.8.0nb13 is not present in = this system. /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3, needed by openssl-3.4.1 is not present in this = system. /usr/lib/libcurses.so.9, needed by python27-2.7.18nb21 is not present in = this system. /usr/lib/libhdb.so.9, needed by heimdal-7.8.0nb13 is not present in this = system. /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.20, needed by heimdal-7.8.0nb13 is not present in = this system. /usr/lib/libpanel.so.3, needed by python27-2.7.18nb21 is not present in = this system. /usr/lib/libroken.so.12, needed by heimdal-7.8.0nb13 is not present in = this system. /usr/lib/libssl.so.15, needed by apache-2.4.65 is not present in this = system. /usr/lib/libterminfo.so.2, needed by bash-5.2.37 is not present in this = system. Does anyone out there have advice on how I will deal with this? I=E2=80=99= d like to keep my PPC system running. If the 10.0 base has these files, = I=E2=80=99ll be all set. If not, what=E2=80=99s a good plan? Will the = packages get updated any time soon? Will I have to build from source? I hate to whine to the list, but I=E2=80=99m stuck. Thanks for your help, -dgl-
