! Thanks. Both FreeBSD 13.5 & 14.3 are "current", just from different major
! branches. I wonder why they use such different locale/collate versioning,
! meaning that they differ roughly by that much as in 34 vs. 43. Maybe someone

Hi, I ran into that same (surprizing) error when upgrading FreeBSD
13.x to 14.x.

In FreeBSD the major version switches are for exactly that purpose: to
change interfaces or libaries that may induce incompatibilities

The version numbers (34.0 vs 43.0) might mean anything, I don't
know; but they originate from these places in the OS distribution:

$ hd /usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_COLLATE | head -1
00000000  42 53 44 20 31 2e 30 0a  00 00 00 00 34 33 2e 30  |BSD 1.0.....43.0|

In Yor case, apparently the conclusion is that you need the same
FreeBSD major version throughout Your replication set.
