Answering to myself with one more question. A diff between the packages that I have and the same taken from 8.0 shows that quite a lot of packages have changed.
As I keep a list from pkg_info -mz in my backups, I wonder if a solution would not be to first remove everything with pkg_delete -X, then do sysupgrade -R 80 and finally reinstall all my packages from the list. Any thoughts about this course of action? Many thanks, R On Wed, Oct 28, 2026 at 10:08:31AM +0100, Robert Alessi wrote: > Hi, > > I made a big mistake last Sunday.
