When attempting to upgrade libreoffice using pkgin, I am getting the following

You didn't say what version of NetBSD, which arch, and where the binary

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.7, needed by gcc7-7.5.0nb6 is not present in this system.
After having updated some other packages (installing a new version of Firefox52
in hopes that it wouldn't crash like crazy) trying to run libreoffice gives
this error:
It is in general unsound to update some but not all packages. I guess
in theory the dependency rules should express what's necessary and
partial updates should be ok.
Sorry Greg, that would be:
NetBSD Bast 9.3 NetBSD 9.3 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Aug 4 15:30:37 UTC 2022
mkre...@mkrepro.netbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
packages are coming from:
http://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/9.3/All
Currently-installed gcc reports its version as 7.5.0nb4, 7.5.0nb6 is to be
installed.
So standard NetBSD/pkgsrc practice is to do a 'pkgin upgrade' rather than
upgrading individual packages using 'pkgin install <package>' as one might do
on e.g., a Linux system?
Thank you,
Bruce
