Many ports newly report 'fstat' and refuse to run, and as many don't build =
until I
get around to a buildworld cycle, the workaround is to run v11 pkg=20
pkg install -f ...
 on this v12 system, then lock the new port from being re-from-package
or re-built=20
..............................
 Otoh, some like sqlite3 do build, but also have to be locked so they don't
revert to packaging upstream, as in WHERE IS THE=C2=A0 FILE some file somwh=
ere
makes locally built ports freebsd:..v11=C2=A0 ABI rather than the actual un=
ame,
v12.0-CURRENT.=20
.........................
=C2=A0 A... some one /usr/src/usr.bin or something,=C2=A0 or a /lib/ equiva=
lent, that
can be reinstalled singly to omit the fstat error.
=C2=A0 B... another whole problem, why are ports v11 ABI when built on a
ABI machine of v12
....................

=C2=A0 Hoping procedures for this type of breakage are documented in the fu=
ture
both for these and for other similar problems, such as in a new file
/usr/src/PKG-UPDATING , and a companion /usr/ports/PKG-UPDATING
or some such file more ad-hoc readable without a browser, as in the
wiki... [ for instance the main browser here broke til I installed just wit=
hin
a few days ago, the v11 gnutls txz ... pkg install -f ... and then locked g=
nutls
IIRC. ]=20
