These are usually documented in /usr/ports/UPDATING, so check it before updating ports. Usually a rebuild fixes the problem, but sometimes a lot of ports have to be reinstalled, so it is time consuming. Try out ports-mgmt/portmaster and use the -w flag to preserve libs. They will end up in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/lib/ until you decide to remove them. -- Denny Lin _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
