[snip] Probably no help, but I had similar happen to me upgrading 4.5->4.6 a few months ago. Similar problem with pftcl after a diligent upgrade, and like you I have been following the upgrade procedure diligently since 3.something. I checked the timestamp on pfctl, it didn't seem right so I built from source and installed and the issue went away, so I assumed I had something wrong and thought nothing of it as generally if OpenBSD f*cks up it's down to me and not the developers ;-) I'd be interested to see if there's a common thread here, particularly before I upgrade this box to 4.7 which (like yours) is a remote box which will be upgraded over serial.
