This is weird.  I only checked the first one, libarchive.so.5, but it
is definitely there.  Since you are not specific about which files
exactly are missing it's hard to tell more.

I'm writing this mail on a mini g4 with 10-stable:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libarchive.so*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       17 Dec 26 12:20 /usr/lib/libarchive.so@ -> libarchive.so.5.1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       17 Feb 10  2023 /usr/lib/libarchive.so.4@ -> libarchive.so.4.0
