The security email this morning (10/21/26) contained in part:

However, buildworld/buildkernel and installation of both succeeded last
night, followed by a successful hands-off reboot. A re-run of buildworld
on the previously-built sources is underway now to get /usr/obj up to date.

Running
# ls -l /usr/ports/accessibility/py-atspi

Prior to the last OS build/install cycle /usr/src was renamed /usr/src.old
and replaced by a fresh clone.

/usr/ports has been kept in its pre-existing form apart from git pulls

Does this maybe suggest a problem with find?

Thanks for reading!
