TL;DR: You may want to keep a copy of /lib/libutill.so.9 around for a
bit.

Details: I track both stable/14 & head daily on a few machines, one of
which is the laptop I use for everyday use.  [Caveat: I am not
recommending this approach for others; it seems to generally work
OK for me.]  As part of this, I also run "make delete-old-libs" as a
late step of each update.

To enable me to actually use the laptop (vs. spending full time
rebuilding software to run it), I build the ports under stable/14 and
have the /usr/local file system shared between them.

One of the ports on which I depend is security/sudo, which depends on
libutil.so.

Since sudo is built under stable/14, it expects to find libutil.so.9.

Following main-n279246-0c381b7f0570, head has /lib/libutil.so.10 in
place of libutil.so.9.

Today's update of head for me was from main-n279245-d1095367eb51 to
main-n279267-877e70e6087f, which includes main-n279246-0c381b7f0570.

While I have the misc/compat14x port (maintainer Cc:ed) installed,
it does not (as of this writing) provide libutil.so.9.

As a mitigation, I copied libutil.so.9 from the stable/14 slice to
/usr/local/lib/compat; that allowed sudo to work in both stable/14 and
head.  (On one of the machines, I even managed to do this proactively.)

Peace,
david

Of course firing the statistician will force the statistics to conform!
