Because Yes, that's probably the reason (and a lesson I learned to never enable collation fix again), but my question is different: why legacy libraries that are copied to compat/pkg are missing symlinks? > this option is off by default these ports don't get a revision bump > when icu is updated. Yes, this is fine and understandable. I actually do not want to update all ports every time something stupid like icu gets a bump. All I want that old applications remain working by being able to find libraries in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg. I have a mixture of old and new packages on my laptop at any given time, but icu is the *only* one that constantly breaks everything once it's updated. :( ./danfe
