Hi

Context here is a recently upgraded via source build 14-stable to 15-stable. Now system is
15.0-STABLE stable/15-n281343-56275b7b0672 GENERIC amd64 1500502 1500502

Packages reinstalled by bootstrapping pkg and pkg update -f && pkg upgrade -f The packages all match the major version of the OS and were downloaded/installed from
pkg.freebsd.org.

freebsd-version -kru
15.0-STABLE
15.0-STABLE
15.0-STABLE

% doas pkg check -da
Checking all packages: 100%
firefox is missing a required shared library: libutil.so.9
iridium-browser is missing a required shared library: libutil.so.9 ungoogled-chromium is missing a required shared library: libutil.so.9

These programs won't run. Is the most straightforward fix to build from
sources locally? Here's the local pkg config. The ports tree is installed
just in case.

% cat /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf

FreeBSD-ports: {
url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}

FreeBSD-ports-kmods: {
url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}
FreeBSD-base: {
url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_latest",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",

}


% cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

You can temporarily install compat14x-amd64 package (misc/compatx14).

As part of the update process, you ran `make delete-old-libs` when you shouldn't have.

No, some of your packages are out of date. Check with:
pkg query -e '%q !~ *:15:*' %n
As Herbert already mentioned, the simplest fix is to install
misc/compat14x.
