Need to be more up to date. You snapshot has 41.2 but your installing packages
built with a later snapshot which had 42.0.

You need to follow current and move to the next snapshot, this happens
as the snapshot and package are updated quite regularly and can be out
of sync. If adding new snapshot packages, it's best first to upgrade to
current snapshot, do a pkg_add -u to upgrade to packages to match the
snapshot, then add the new packages. libevent wanting 42 and only have 41.2
tells you the packages are ahead of the snapshot your using. The more common is
the other way around, because the snapshot is created then it takes a
day or so to build packages for that snapshot.
