Hi all, If you are using this package from pkgsrc-current, and running NetBSD 9.0, please unpack a base tarball before removing the compat80 package.
I haven't realized this package replaces base libraries if they already exist, so my addition of libterminfo.so.1 to the package for the benefit of netbsd-current meant that removing the package will delete your BASE libraries. If you have the bad version of compat80 installed: su cd / ftp https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/amd64/binary/sets/base.tar.xz pkg_delete compat80 env PATH=/rescue tar xzpf base.tar.xz Should be a safe way of removing it. If you have removed compat80 and now dynamic programs fail, and don't have a root shell: 1. Drop to boot prompt at the boot menu 2. Type 'boot -as' and press enter to boot. 3. When asked which shell to run, pick /rescue/sh 4. export PATH=/rescue 5. cd / 6. ftp https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/amd64/binary/sets/base.tar.xz 7. tar xzpf base.tar.xz 8. ^D to resume boot normally. Sorry for the breakage. Hopefully very few people will be affected.
