It's when you build new ports or update old ones that problems can arise. A short article on port upgrading: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/portupgrade.html > Is there a way to automatically recompile all broken apps and dependencies? Depends on what you mean by broken, but portmaster and portupgrade are both made to deal with that. pkg_libchk from sysutils/bsdadminscripts is very useful for finding ports that still depend on old, missing libraries and need to be rebuilt.
