Hi,
I've been trying to prepare a NomadBSD stick for a raid at a nearby
laptop store, and have upgraded it to 14-BETA2 using freebsd-update.
However, when attempting to pkg upgrade it afterwards, I find that some
ports cause problems; one example being libdeflate.
NomadBSD has a uzip-backed /usr/local with a ZFS-backed fusefs-unionfs
on top. Hence, installed/upgraded packages and other changes are applied
to the ZFS dataset only, since the uzip device/filesystem is read-only.
During package upgrade or installation, most packages behave fine, but
e.g. libdeflate attempts to create hardlinks to itself within
/usr/local/bin. This fails, with a "File exists"-complaint.
I have not had any similar problems on NomadBSD installations I have
elsewhere, but they are all on 13.2 - this leads me to believe there may
be problems specific to 14.
I'm using the standard "latest" FreeBSD package repo. And for clarity, I
have *not* installed to another disk; this is all done directly on the
USB stick created from the NomadBSD image.
I can extract more logs/info as required, if anyone feels like looking
into this. It does seem like a currently-working use case that no longer
works, so perhaps of interest before 14 ships?
