The distfiles I installed from are dated 2000-01-30 at
ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/OpenBSD/, both the x* tarballs and the
system ones.
It was a clean install from scratch, BTW.

I found a /usr/lib/libutil.so.5.0 on my machine, linking it to ...4.5
solved the problem, so there's a workaround if anyone needs it.

Kewl, I need a new and _very_ long username! :-)

Iff my snapshot have wscons, shouldn't it have a /etc/wscons.conf file
or some such?

man -k wscons tell me about some different programs I don't have, like
'wsconsctl' and such, so it seems to me that I'm on a non-wscons snap, am
I right?

It was what I hoped for anyway, I did know about the problems with the
change to wscons.
