This SASL isn’t the erlang one, which lives under /usr/local/lib/erlang*/lib/…

This appears to be some python program failing.

See 
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2024-January/005169.html it suggests you have partially updated libraries from FreeBSD 13.x or earlier to FreeBSD 14.x 

Why it started recently I can’t say without more info.

To fix this make sure your Userland and ports match your kernel, and check your ports are all up to date.

A+
