Portupgrade preserves the libraries in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg:
% ls /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/
libicudata.so.36.0      libicule.so.36.0        libicuuc.so.36.0
libicui18n.so.36.0      libiculx.so.36.0
libicuio.so.36.0        libicutu.so.36.0

ldconfig knows about the directory:
% ldconfig -r | head -2
/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints:
         search directories: 
/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/mysql:/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg

But ldconfig -R don't rescan them:
% ldconfig -R
% ldconfig -r | grep libicudata
         231:-licudata.38 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libicudata.so.38
         386:-licudata.38 => /usr/local/lib/libicudata.so.38

Could anybody investigate it? I have no time now.
