AW: pkgbase + migrate to FreeBSD15/amd64

Hi Manfred,

i got curious and tried it myself in a vm.

I do not get the same error as you (probably because i am using a root shell, no doas.

Here are my markdown notes:

# pkgbase upgrade on ufs system
Installed vm with uefi, gpt, ufs freebsd 14.3 disc1
```
root@freebsd-ufs:~ # freebsd-version -kru
14.3-RELEASE
14.3-RELEASE
14.3-RELEASE
```

pkgbasify
```
fetch https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/pkgbasify/raw/refs/heads/main/pkgbasify.lua
chmod +x pkgbasify.lua
./pkgbasify.lua
shutdown -r now
```

check version after pkgbasifying:
```
root@freebsd-ufs:~ # freebsd-version -kru
14.3-RELEASE-p4
14.3-RELEASE-p4
14.3-RELEASE-p4
```
modify FreeBSD-base.conf
```
root@freebsd-ufs:~ # cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf
FreeBSD-base: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}
```

install vim an tmux, because i like them:
```
pkg install vim tmux -y
```

At this stage i shut the vm down and created an snapshot "pkgbasify" so i could go back in case something goes wrong.

upgrade like described in mail:
```
env ABI="FreeBSD:15:amd64" pkg update -f -r FreeBSD-base
env ABI="FreeBSD:15:amd64" pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
```

when upgrading it tells me, that it will remove pkg, but i go on to get the error.

While installing i get "Child process pid=894 terminated abnormally: Segmentation fault".
trying again:
```
root@freebsd-ufs:~ # env ABI="FreeBSD:15:amd64" pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypto.so.35" not found, required by "pkg"
```

trying it with pkg-static gets me the segfault too.

so lets try locking pkg
```
pkg-static lock pkg
env ABI="FreeBSD:15:amd64" pkg-static upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
```
seems like it worked

```
root@freebsd-ufs:~ # freebsd-version -kru
15.0-ALPHA5
14.3-RELEASE-p4
15.0-ALPHA5
```

so i will try rebooting

unlock pkg and update packages
```
pkg-static unlock pkg
pkg update
pkg upgrade
```

this seems to be working.

I am happy to hear if that helped you too.


Have a great day

Lukas

Hi Lukas,

I use the ufs filesystem. The pkgbasify has led me to
pkg update -r FreebBSD-base
pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base

Till then all is good. Then the error:

ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libutil.so.10" not found required by doas

I will try with pkg lock pkg. If this doesn't work,
probably a fresh install.

Thanks
Manfred

Hey, sounds like you are upgrading from 14 to 15, which does not work out of the box as far as I know.
You can lock pkg with 'pkg lock pkg' before upgrading to 15.
I hope you have created an boot environment before the upgrade (or can use the pre pkgbasify boot environment).

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I am new with pkgbase and have tried with pkgbasify.lua
to get it.
pkg update -r FreebBSD-base
pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
That performed.

But when I make

env ABI="FreeBSD:15:amd64" pkg update -f -r FreeBSD-base

env ABI="FreeBSD:15:amd64" pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base

After pkg update -r FreebBSD-base I get:

ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libutil.so.10" not found required by doas


Any Ideas how one could fix that.
