Tried deleting the two packages & tried again with portmaster. Still no luck. So I deleted them again and installed from packages. mysql-client-5.4.. installed lib/mysql/ libmysqlclient.so.18, but mysql-server-5.4... wanted lib/mysql/ libmysqlclient.so.16. Finally, after giving ritual sacrifice to the backup gods, I went to the ZFS snapshots and just restored directories wholesale and everything is working again albeit with previous versions of mysql (and postfix which also gave me fits) but with the package database entries now missing (for some strange reason, I hadn't been backing up that directory. You'd think I'd learn - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Still wonder what went wrong though.... Seems every time I try to update any ports, things get broken, ports don't compile, etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum. I've got to be doing something wrong. Incidentally, portmaster, when updating mysql54-server reliably rebooted the system. Hmmm.... Anyone know if there is a good memory test utility that can be run on FBSD AMD64? Anyway - thanks for the assistance... Gene > -- > Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. > PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey --
