I tried to get myself a clean /usr/{include,lib} installation after a
successful buildworld earlier. To make this as clean an installation
as possible, I did the following before running "make installworld":
# cd /usr
# mv include include.old
# mkdir include
# cd include ; mtree -deU < /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.include.dist
# mv lib lib.old
# ldconfig -elf /usr/lib.old
Then, after installworld finished alright, I rebooted the single-user
mode session I was running and noticed that a few of the ports I had
installed were broken :)
Apparently editors/vim-lite had picked up an old, obsolete libposix*.so
from one of the past installations and linked against that. Deleting
the port and reinstalling it worked like a charm, which made me think
a bit... Should we recommend in UPDATING that source upgrades include
something similar? Well, maybe not all the time (since ports can
break like vim did for me), but at least under a "making your /usr as
clean as possible" paragraph?
