You are mixing current ports with release. That is not supported. Either upgrade to current or use a stable ports tree. >From https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/ports.html: "Do not check out a -current ports tree and expect it to work on a release or -stable system. If you follow -current, you need both a -current base system and a -current ports tree. " -- Antoine
