Maybe I have wrong repos?

The "Haiku" repo is correct, the "HaikuPorts" repo, however, should
also point to "current" in order to be updatable.
So, do a "pkgman add-repo
http://packages.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/repo/x86_gcc2/current";.

Also the VM has the X86_gcc2_hybrid recipes under this path:
/boot/system/packages/administrative/state_2015-12-22_20:13:32

Every time you install/uninstall a package the old state of the system
- what packages are activated - is saved in a foler under
"administration". That's all in order, apparently.

If the corrected HaikuPorts repo doesn't fix things for you, have a
look if you have the x86-package " haiku_x86-r1~alpha4_pm_hrev49934-1"
in your /system/packages/ and delete it.
You can always hold SHIFT on boot-up to enter the boot options and
choose an older state to boot into, if there are any problems. That's
what the files in "administration" are for.

Hope that helps.

Humdinger
