In the mean time, see if a link from libexpat.so.5 to libexpat.so.4 would satisfy the failing applications. That did work for me until i had the time to recompile the depending software. For the next time, remember to upgrade depending software when you upgrade dependency software. I personally stay away from using portupgrade to actually do upgrade; wait for others to resolve your issues w/ portupgrade. > and make world but it still failed. Wow, that is really unnecessarily excessive! You can upgrade ports software from the ports w/o the need of upgrading the base system. (In most cases anyway. Sometimes one would need to upgrade base system *eventually* to be able to build/install software from ports. But that's another thread.) - Parv --
