I am trying to rectify that now. I have just tried to do "pkg upgrade" and after a bit of initial fooling around (e.g. to remove packages which no longer exist) I managed to get the process to make some progress, and indeed about 608 packages were ostensibly upgraded, however now the Xorg server won't start, and I do have reason to believe that this may relate to a number of errors that were flagged during the various package upgrades, all of which looked like this: ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libthr.so.3: version FBSD_1.6 required by /usr/local/lib= /libglib-2.0.so.0 not found There is an existing /lib/libthr.so.3 file on the system in question, but it si quite obviously out of date, with mod date set to Dec 6, 2018. I have made an effort to find out what package this file belongs to as follows: pkg info --file /lib/libthr.so.3 pkg info --file libthr.so.3 In both cases I got back only the error: pkg: No package(s) matching <> Please advise. How do I get this file updated so as to restore the system in question to something resembling a useful state. Thanks in adavance for any assistance.
