Current is a moving target.  This means that the CVS tree gets cleaned up
from time to time, and unwanted or unneeded programs and source may get
deleted entirely from the repository.  When this happens, there is usually
an e-mail sent to tech@openbsd.org, telling developers about potential
problems.

These seem to have been removed.

These are a problem with your obj tree.

The e2fsprogs seem to have been removed.

A simple 'make obj' should have "fixed" things for you.  Granted, you would
have stale objects in your obj tree...

Unless you have local changes in that part of the tree, the best way (that I
know of) to update that portion, is to remove it, and run the update again.
