Hi, I've been trying to prepare a NomadBSD stick for a raid at a nearby laptop store, and have upgraded it to 14-BETA2 using freebsd-update. However, when attempting to pkg upgrade it afterwards, I find that some ports cause problems; one example being libdeflate. NomadBSD has a uzip-backed /usr/local with a ZFS-backed fusefs-unionfs on top. Hence, installed/upgraded packages and other changes are applied to the ZFS dataset only, since the uzip device/filesystem is read-only. During package upgrade or installation, most packages behave fine, but e.g. libdeflate attempts to create hardlinks to itself within /usr/local/bin. This fails, with a "File exists"-complaint. I have not had any similar problems on NomadBSD installations I have elsewhere, but they are all on 13.2 - this leads me to believe there may be problems specific to 14. I'm using the standard "latest" FreeBSD package repo. And for clarity, I have *not* installed to another disk; this is all done directly on the USB stick created from the NomadBSD image. I can extract more logs/info as required, if anyone feels like looking into this. It does seem like a currently-working use case that no longer works, so perhaps of interest before 14 ships?
