I've been bitten/stung by that bug, to the point of impasse in updating NetBSD packages.

Could I put PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT=37 in /etc/mk.conf ?

But it's not only py37-* packages, for instance

pkg_info: can't find package `libproxy'
*** Couldn't extract PKGPATH from installed package libproxy
*** Please read the errors listed above, fix the problem,
*** then re-run pkg_rolling-replace to continue.

or

pkg_info: can't find package `p5-Net-LibIDN'
*** Couldn't extract PKGPATH from installed package p5-Net-LibIDN
*** Please read the errors listed above, fix the problem,
*** then re-run pkg_rolling-replace to continue.

That bug in pkg_rr has been around for some time!  When will it be fixed?

It even affects the most recent pkg_rolling-replace-0.24.6 .  I've been stung!
