Well, I do not have any idea neither -- I never touched anything mentioning FreeBSD 6.x > > I found the solution in the meanwhile though. > > Just create /etc/libmap.conf and put > > libc.so.6 libc.so.7 > > in it and the problem vanishes > > That is not the solution. Yeah, pkgdb -F ran through after that w/out any problem, running portupgrade -ra or portupgrade -fa advices me to do the same again. Doing that now…last time it took an hour or so…I hope I can go on then with portupgrade Right now the system seems to be messed up like in times when I worked with SuSE-linux and played around with alpha-stuff and forced my way through the rpm-database…even though I didn't even touch current or anything below 7 (at least not that I know off) and never worked with a -f -option (I learned my lessons years ago with force-options) Niels
