In addition, add " -m 'DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes'" for the last step. Addig this option avoids fallouts because of "marked as vulnerable". To be more paranoids, run it without " -m 'DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes'", and with " -m 'DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes' -n" to find fallouts, and then confirm they are really needed, deinstall now-unneeded ones, finally run with " -m 'DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes'" for vulnerable but really needed ones. And I think `pkg shlib` method is better, as `pkg query` method can cause fallouts by missing explicit dependencies. Not 100% sure, though, but IIRC, when the `pkg shlib` method is first introduced in UPDATING, I tried legacy method first and `pkg shlib` method next, and some more fallouts was rebuilt. -- Tomoaki AOKI <junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp>
