Every once in a while (like this week with gettext) a library with a very large number of dependencies has a shared library version bump, and a note is placed in UPDATING requesting that users do something like portupgrade -rf gettext But if I'm using portupgrade, isn't this unnecessary? doesn't pkg_deinstall (and by extension portupgrade) preserve old shared libraries just to avoid this? what am i missing? why do i need to recompile half my system? thanks, /b ____________________________________________________________________________________ It's here!
