--- Comment #16 from Craig Leres <leres@freebsd.org> ---
I tried to go from 13.5 to 15.0-BETA2 and hit this. I don't see a recipe on how
to recover so here's mine:

    # (I use csh)
    set path= ( /rescue $path )
    cd /tmp
    fetch https://download.freebsd.org/releases/amd64/15.0-BETA2/base.txz
    tar zxf ../base.txz lib/libsys.so.7
    mv -i lib/libsys.so.7 /lib
    freebsd-update install

I *think* my problem was that the 13.5 version freebsd-update is missing the
fix from this PR?
