NO. You need to use pkg_add -u -Dsnap.
Or, the packages really don't match yet. Then wait a little. -Dsnap is a
must. Some snapshots are also "defective" as in trying some new stuff
that will get changed more later. Upgrade again.
Occasionally you might need to use sysupgrade -s. That happened to me
from one -current to another.
If you genuinely need stability, then run -stable.
-current makes changes to the C libraries and headers and then
recompiles the packages. The packages are the same but C, etc. has
changed. Thus the packages have changed on that level. Thus they keep
the same Makefiles, but the resulting package binaries are different.
