I have an old web server (10.1-RELEASE-p9) which is running for years

It first want to upgrade pkg from 1.5.1 to 1.10.0_2 but that doesn't
work:

[1/1] Upgrading pkg from 1.5.1 to 1.10.0_2...
[1/1] Extracting pkg-1.10.0_2: 100%
/usr/local/lib/libpkg.so.4: Undefined symbol "openat"

Anything I try to do with pkg now gives me this error-message.

/var/log/messages says: pkg: pkg upgraded: 1.5.1 -> 1.10.0_2

How do I proceed from here (without upgrading everything, please)?


Have you tried using the "pkg-static" command? It's the same as pkg, but
statically linked, should sidestep your issue.

The old pkg-static might work, but it would wreck his system because he uses a repo with an ABI unsupported by his base + kernel system. He is lucky he immediately triggered the incompatibility.
