Thanks, As you say, it seems to have fixed by your suggestion (for the other not so smart people like me) by doing a sysupgrade to 7.9-beta and then reinstall all the packages from the snapshot.
% export PKG_PATH= https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64 % pkg_add -u The documentation for sysupgrade says downgrading is not well supported is fine so that may be the root cause.
