If you look at my previous posts on this list (from 2007), I was having this problem since I started upgrading our servers. Therefore, anticipating your question, this time I took the precaution of performing the upgrade by following certain steps, to avoid uncontrolled variables to polute the environment. The steps I followed were: 1. check if the system has an amd64 FreeBSD installation 2. remove all installed packages by pkg_delete -a 3. freebsd-update: upgrade from 6.3 to 7.0 and reboot 4. freebsd-update: upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 and reboot 5. install packages from ports. Any help would be appreciated.
