OpenBSD thinks it's v7.4

[nevils1]

I'm not sure what I did wrong but I ran sysupgrade and then sysupdate and pkg_add -u wouldn't work.

I'm getting errors because it reports as v7.4

Is there a file somewhere that I can edit to change the 7.4 to 7.3?

Or, is there a way to force a reinstall of 7.3 that will reset anything that thinks it's 7.4?

Thanks

I'm caught in the 7.4 mess and

doas pkg_add -D snap

tries, and fails, to upgrade to 7.5 ...

I read elsewhere to set PKG_PATH in the environment to something like http://some.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/%a/ Would I put this in /etc/installurl ?

I've tried

http://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ https://cloudflare.cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ https://mirrors.syringsnetworks.net/pub/OpenBSD/ and https://mirror2.sandyriver.net/pub/OpenBSD/

It would be cool if I could back up to 7.3 but I can't find any instructions to do that. (It had been some months since I touched the machine so I just ran sysupdate before trying to work on the project. BTW: There's nothing on it that I need to save.)

Thanks!

So you upgraded to a snapshot or 7.4, which means you're now running -current, which will be released as 7.4 stable some time this month. So you may as well stay with 7.4.

Refer to pkg_add(1), syspatch(8) and sysupgrade(8), you seem to misunderstand their purpose.

You need to correctly format your installurl(5) and choose a mirror:

https://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html is where I found the several mirrors that I tried - so far, none of them works.

I read about the three pkg_add(1), syspatch(8) and sysupgrade(8) and had notes from my original install and subsequent (trouble free) upgrades.

I've very new to OpenBSD, coming from a long time with Linux, so there are lots of little differences that mess me up. I'm trying to learn ...

I guess, for now, I'll just try to use things as they sit (hoping for no problems) then see about 'stable' when it arrives.

Thanks.
