This is the same "problem" as reported in ports/29112. It looks to me that because of the way libc/libc_r is linked into these ports, and because libc/libc_r appear to carry stubs for the DES cipher functions, one ends up with "dangling" unresolved linkages from libc/libc_r to these cipher functions which really reside in libcipher. Thus, I believe the warning messages issued by "ld" are spooking people (perhaps unnecessarily?). YMMV. jmc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
