This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --nextPart2031495.x0N0T6uNKo Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" After the latest round of package upgrades sysutils/vm-bhyve and graphics/digikam failed to start with the error: ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libelf.so.1: version ELFUTILS_1.0 required by /usr/local/lib/libdw.so.1 not found Digging around for libelf.so I found: curlew:/home/mike% locate libelf.so.1 /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libelf.so.1 curlew:/home/mike% ls -l /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libelf.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 90760 30 Apr 2016 /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 2 Apr 02:42 /usr/local/lib/libelf.so.1@ -> libelf-0.187.so It looks like seven year old /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 is left over from an old version. Booting from a memstick image confirms there is no /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 in 'out of the box' FreeBSD 13.1 so I deleted it and both programs worked. But this makes me wonder how many redundant old files might be lying around in the base system and potentially causing problems. Is there any easy way to track these down other than doing a fresh install from scratch? Since I'm intending to upgrade to 13.2 soon this could be a good time to see if there's more redundant stuff to clean out. -- Mike Clarke --nextPart2031495.x0N0T6uNKo Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">After the latest round of package upgrades sysutils/vm-bhyve and graphics/digikam failed to start with the error:</p> <br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libelf.so.1: version ELFUTILS_1.0 required by /usr/local/lib/libdw.so.1 not found</p> <br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Digging around for libelf.so I found:</p> <br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">curlew:/home/mike% locate libelf.so.1</p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">/usr/lib/libelf.so.1</p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">/usr/local/lib/libelf.so.1</p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">curlew:/home/mike% ls -l /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libelf.so.1</p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 90760 30 Apr 2016 /usr/lib/libelf.so.1</p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 2 Apr 02:42 /usr/local/lib/libelf.so.1@ -> libelf-0.187.so</p> <br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">It looks like seven year old /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 is left over from an old version.
