Fix: The problem here is that though the compatibility a.out libraries may have been installed from compat22 and as part of the XFree86 distribution, the a.out library (ldconfig) cache has not yet been built given that this doesn't happen until the system has booted completely at least once. This causes packages which require the old a.out libraries (like netscape) to get confused if they're installed before that has occurred. To work around the problem, simply complete the installation as normal and come up fully, then re-run /stand/sysinstall (or use the pkg_add(1) command directly) to re-install the failing package(s).
