I just upgraded #OpenBSD from 7.1 all the way up to 7.7 one release at a time in a #KVM VM running on my laptop #Debian. At first #tcsh and #vim were giving coredumps. I realized I did not even run #pkg_add even once so I did a doas pkg_add -u. After that all is fine and everything was like before. #OpenBSD is truely awesome!

#BSD #UseBSD #RunBSD #unix #FOSS
In -current, pkg_add -u no longer advises file removal

@archer72 On #FreeBSD, you'd use #pkg.

#pkg_add is a predecessor of #pkg. #pkgin is a part of #pkgsrc, which you can use on #FreeBSD if you really want to. #NetBSD folks might be able to tell you more about #pkgsrc.
