I tried in print/hplip, and got a log file of

I intend to delete this file shortly.

I can't see what is wrong, except that my packages are in a hopeless tangle that I can't extricate, resulting from pkg_chk -u -s (to the best of my memory).

NetBSD wiki page on how to update packages is 6 years 2 months old as it says near the bottom of that page: teaches me not to depend on such outdated information.

Even after running pkg_delete -f on packages that show as "moved or obsolete" when I run pkg_rolling-replace, the same packages show again on the next run of pkg_rolling-replace.

I am presently in that hosed installation, icewm and uxterm still work, and one web browser still works (dillo 3.0.5), also the nongraphic elinks.
