It looks like OpenBSD may be on the verge of a version number increment.
But, in any event, snapshot upgrading seems non-functional at the moment.
Attempts to sysupgrade -s fail with:
sysupgrade: Error retrieving
https://cdn.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/xbase77.tgz: 404 Not Found
and there's your problem.
Gzipped packages look a mix of versions 7.7 and 7.8, but the 7.7
versions of the X11 packages are absent.
Is this a matter of just waiting until things sort themselves out, or is
something else at play here?
really...just don't use the CDN services if you are using snapshots.
By design, mirrors end up populating asynchronously, and take a non-trivial time
to update, so the contents are changing regularly. If the CDN grabs file 1
from one mirror and file 2 from another, you have no indication if they are the
same build.
Find a mirror that gives you good performance, use that. And if something seems
wrong, you can easily track down the person to yell at. What little additional
time it MIGHT take is made up for at moments like this.
