Ah, sorry, my bad. Apparently I wasn't root.

Thank you for the hint

You chose later, so now do a "doas sysmerge", and merge it now?

sysmerge: what is [leave it for later] good for, actually?

Hi folks,

sysmerge noted that I had modified my /etc/newsyslog.conf. Since I
didn't had time for this while other important services were not
merged yet I chose the default [leave it for later].

Problem is, when I came back later (after a reboot), sysmerge didn't
show me that newsyslog.conf still had to be merged. Wouldn't you agree
that this is error-prone? Being "too late" is quite unexpected.
