DragonFly 4.9 uses 4.10 packages (ie, the future release).

The only unusual thing you will have to do is use pkg -f upgrade,
the -f flag is necessary because recent versions of pkg(8) failed
to properly record shared libraries in packages

The bug has since been fixed but all packages need to be regenerated 
in order for the fix to take effect. Forcing upgrades with -f is a
good workaround in the meantime.
