OpenBSD Errata: October 26, 2025 (syspatch)

Errata patch for syspatch has been released for OpenBSD 7.8.

syspatch(8) is confused by aliased /dev/*rootdisk nodes in the database
generated by dev_mkdb(8). If syspatch fails (probably because /usr
is not a seperate filesystem), perform these steps:

sed -e 's/.checkfs/#checkfs/g' /usr/sbin/syspatch > /root/syspatch
ksh /root/syspatch
syspatch # re-run new syspatch command as instructed
rm /root/syspatch
dev_mkdb

Binary updates for the amd64, arm64 and i386 platform are available
via the syspatch utility. Source code patches can be found on the
respective errata page:
