For example:

Simplest way is probably to reinstall the package, either pkg_delete and pkg_add, or easier if there are other packages depending on it: pkg_add -r -D installed dbus rsync There is a special case, _lldpd, where the user from packages was replaced with one in base, if you use that then either leave alone, or if you want things squeaky clean you can rmuser, sysmerge, then reinstall.
