That's not the 5.5 release. The 5.5 release GENERIC.MP for amd64 had a
banner of:
OpenBSD 5.5 (GENERIC.MP) #315: Wed Mar 5 09:37:46 MST 2014
so the build number is clearly off.

You have libc.so.75.0? That was only present for about a month starting in
mid May. You've installed a snapshot of -current that's something between
a month and 3 months old and *not* the 5.5 release. You'll have a hard
time finding packages that match that, so you should reinstall with the
correct release files.
