Re: Branch for netbsd 9 upcoming, please help and test -current

[Van L <van@scratch.space>]

Trying to reach -current from 8.0 stable following

  https://www.netbsd.org/docs/current/

using the sets at

  https://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/amd64/binary/sets/

I note the .tgz file extension should be .tar.xz and fail at step 7 for
Update /etc

  > /usr/sbin/etcupdate -s /opt/share/sets/etc.tar.xz
  >8-- [snip]

  postinstall checks failed: x11 obsolete
  To fix, run:
      sh /usr/sbin/postinstall -s /opt/share/sets/etc.tar.xz -d / fix x11 obsolete
  Note that this may overwrite local changes.
  *** All done

  > /usr/sbin/postinstall -s /opt/share/sets/xetc.tar.xz check
  Note: Creating temporary directory /tmp/_postinstall.5587.0/etc.tgz
  Note: Extracting files from /opt/share/sets/xetc.tar.xz
  postinstall: Files from the etc.tgz set are missing

The above is before the `#shudown -r now' step.
