Solved Missing libs after update

[balanga]

After much trial and error, mostly error, I managed to get one of my installations up to 15.0.

However some libraries are missing such as libslang.so.2, libnet.so.9 among several others.

I ran pkg update and pkg upgrade after completing freebsd-update.

What did I miss out? Or how do I install these missing libs?

Those aren't base OS libraries, they're from ports/packages.

libslang.so.2: devel/libslang2
libnet.so.9: net/libnet

Hi balanga try pkg version -vRL= to check the state of your packages, you may have packages that weren't upgraded.

See: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/clarification-on-pkg-updating.100589/#post-730406 (and other posts) for more information and see if that helps.

I thought pkg update would pull in all the required libs.

Me too but it doesn't sometimes. Software is written by persons making errors , so software contains always errors, including macos,windows,linux.
You can try,
pkg update -f
pkg upgrade -f
Check /var/log/messages if packages get uninstalled during the process, ie conflicting

You might want to run pkg-check(8), to make sure your dependencies are still in order And perhaps you have some packages locked? That would certainly prevent them from being updated, pkg-lock(8).

I don't understand any of this at all.

Is it my system that is screwed up or the pkg server?

root@X61:~ $ pkg version -vRl= > temp.blob
pkg: sqlite error while executing grmbl in file update.c:154: NOT NULL constraint failed: packages.path

That SQLite issue appears to be a general issue going on, see: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...t-null-constraint-failed-packages-path.101121

Nothing to do with me then?

Guess I'll just wait and hope that the problem clears by itself.

Well it's now a very good time to go to the local bar, drink a good beer and meet beautiful women. [Joking].
I'll keep you informed when i come back

Update :
.. requested a rebuild of the packages, it might take a day for the fix to reach the mirrors.

check the file /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf if you have one. They must contain sections FreeBSD-ports and FreeBSD-ports-kmods. In 15.x-RELEASE the name are changed. Then re-bootstrap and re-update pkg.

 

[Alain De Vos]

Helpfull, but the problem will remain as for now.

This may be a typo on your part, but just in case it isn't... pkg update doesn't pull in libs, it updates the package catalogues for the repositories that you've pointed your configuration at. The command that you're looking for is pkg upgrade.

I normally try both, but it looks like there was some temporary error on the server as things seem to be workng OK now.
