Symlinking shared libraries that are "missing" because of a version bump is= a terrible idea: it's precisely because the libraries are not compatible that= the version number is bumped, and any time it's "fixed" with a symlink the resu= lts are going to be unpredictable and potentially disastrous. In some specific cases it may work as a last-effort workaround (to recover files if a backup= is missing, for example), but is very dangerous. I've posted an update on the ino64 change to the current and ports mailing lists, and will copy the important paragraphs here: > In addition, some users have created a libarchive.so.6 symlink to > libarchive.so.7, in an attempt to run older binaries on a fresh post- > ino64 install. Do not do this: libarchive.so.6 and libarchive.so.7 > have an incompatible ABI and this will result in incorrect and > unpredictable behaviour. > > The most recent -CURRENT package set was built prior to the ino64 > commit, and thus will not work on a fresh ino64 install or snapshot > image. Until the next package set is available please build from ports, > or use Poudriere to build your own package set. https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2017-May/066136.html --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
