Unfortunately, I read your first five message exactly, in which say you upgraded but completely fail to mention building from source or patching. It was only in the last message of the original thread you mention patching, though you didn't describe the process you used at that point. > I was following the Upgrade Guide to the dot, following > "Applying patches in OpenBSD" to the dot, This thread perhaps wouldn't have happened if you hadn't waited until your 13th message to describe that last part. You now have and now it seems the core discussion is just about whether (or where) an additional "rm -rf /usr/obj/*" should be added to help people that know enough to set up the source tree for building/patching by untaring src.tar.gz but don't know to remove the obj tree at the same time. <shurg> I'm just glad to hear that it's PEBCAK instead of some bizarre bug in the kernel or installer.
