I tried running portsclean after upgrading a lot of my ports recently, and got this output: [root@kepler:/usr/ports]# portsclean -DL Detecting unreferenced distfiles... no unreferenced distfiles found. ** /usr/lib/compat/libc_r.so.4 is shadowed by /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 ** /usr/lib/compat/libedit.so.3 is shadowed by /usr/lib/libedit.so.3 So, does this mean I should delete the libraries in /usr/lib/compat? Then continuing: ** You have multiple versions of libgobject-1.3 but 2 of them are not from packages: gobject-1.3.13 (/usr/local/lib/libgobject-1.3.so.13) <- ? gobject-1.3.1 (/usr/local/lib/libgobject-1.3.so.1) <- ? and the symlink (/usr/local/lib/libgobject-1.3.so) points to: gobject-1.3.13 (/usr/local/lib/libgobject-1.3.so.13) <- ? --> Skipping gobject-1.3.13 because it is newer than what the packages provide --> Skipping gobject-1.3.1 because it is newer than what the packages provide I don't understand what I should do here. Should I delete the older libraries? What does it matter that they are not from packages? I never use packages, I always download and build the port, which is how I just got these conflicts! Or are they conflicts? Do they matter? If not, why does portsclean tell me about them? ** You have multiple versions of libglib-1.3 but 2 of them are not from packages: glib-1.3.13 (/usr/local/lib/libglib-1.3.so.13) <- ? glib-1.3.1 (/usr/local/lib/libglib-1.3.so.1) <- ? and the symlink (/usr/local/lib/libglib-1.3.so) points to: glib-1.3.13 (/usr/local/lib/libglib-1.3.so.13) <- ? --> Skipping glib-1.3.13 because it is newer than what the packages provide --> Skipping glib-1.3.1 because it is newer than what the packages provide ** You have multiple versions of libgthread-1.3 but 2 of them are not from packages: gthread-1.3.13 (/usr/local/lib/libgthread-1.3.so.13) <- ? gthread-1.3.1 (/usr/local/lib/libgthread-1.3.so.1) <- ? and the symlink (/usr/local/lib/libgthread-1.3.so) points to: gthread-1.3.13 (/usr/local/lib/libgthread-1.3.so.13) <- ? --> Skipping gthread-1.3.13 because it is newer than what the packages provide --> Skipping gthread-1.3.1 because it is newer than what the packages provide ** You have multiple versions of libgmodule-1.3 but 2 of them are not from packages: gmodule-1.3.13 (/usr/local/lib/libgmodule-1.3.so.13) <- ? gmodule-1.3.1 (/usr/local/lib/libgmodule-1.3.so.1) <- ? and the symlink (/usr/local/lib/libgmodule-1.3.so) points to: gmodule-1.3.13 (/usr/local/lib/libgmodule-1.3.so.13) <- ? --> Skipping gmodule-1.3.13 because it is newer than what the packages provide --> Skipping gmodule-1.3.1 because it is newer than what the packages provide ** Clean out /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg manually on occasions. Does this mean I should delete the three libraries in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg? ** Try using libchk(1) (sysutils/libchk) to find out unreferenced libraries. One of my gripes about the portupgrade group of tools is that their documentation doesn't explain their error messages.
