I think this would be a problem when people customize their make world via /etc/make.conf. It will look like there are a lot of files missing. If you are worried about old libs hanging around, they only really live in one place, # ls -lt /usr/lib/*.so* Should give you the info you need to delete the files (there are not that many) that might have changed. Watch out for broken symlinks too. What I found a little more worrisome on a 3.x to 4.0 upgrade was that some things moved from /usr/sbin to /sbin. There were two executables hanging about. Immediately after the make world, you can look at all of the old files left by doing something like, # find / -type d -mtime +1 -- Crist J.
