All py3-* ports are built against a single Python branch, in OpenBSD 7.3
this is 3.10. It can't be mixed-and-matched.
I think py-bsddb3 should be removed.
Upstream has replaced it with py-berkeleydb
(https://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm) but we can't switch to that
unless someone<tm> updates databases/db to a newer version (probably either
4.8.30 or 5.3.28 - newer ones have switched to a much more restrictive license).
Two ports used py-bsddb3: gramps (though this has preferred sqlite since 5.1
back in 2019) - I've just removed the dependency, and kopano-core - I think
only a few parts of kopano-core use bsddb3, and AIUI users of kopano should
be migrating to grommunio anyway, I think robert@ was planning to remove the
port sometime. Anyway we either need to remove the dep on py-bsddb3, or
remove kopano-core, before we can remove the py-bsddb3 port.
