When updating the OS and using pkg_rr, you should do "pkg_admin set
rebuild=yes \*" so that every package is rebuilt.  Basically, every
package depends on the base system ABI, but we don't record that.

Whether the number is surprising, I can't say.  But it is not surprising
at all there was trouble.
