OK, but that doesn't rule out what I said. You have *some* files still left over from an older version of FreeBSD, in particular, including the following: a) an old copy of a thread library b) old packages linked to this old thread library > > > > portupgrade -fa is the most convenient way to solve this. > > > That scares me to no ever loving end.

Probably for the same reason, i.e. you're not updating a consistent subset of your packages. There are packages that do not depend on pkg-config that probably need to be updated too, and since you're not updating them then you'll break things that require the new version. In fact, doing a portupgrade -fa is the usual way you *fix* such inconsistencies, as I've already said. Kris
