Right. That's a good symlink to do. The question is, why did ports
think you should have /usr/lib/libcrypto.so when you didn't have one?
Either you didn't install the crypto distribution, or you didn't build
it when you upgarded to a system that had it.

I don't know of one. Upgrading a binary distribution is
straightforward, though. Boot the 4.8 CDROM, and select
"ugprade". That will give you a long warning about how dangerous all
this is - which you should ignore, because you've backed up your
system prior to doing this. Go through the upgrade procedure, then use
the copy of your config files that it saved - I forget where - to
modify the new versions that were installed so your config files are
up to date.
Alternatively for that last step, you can copy the your version back,
and run "/usr/sbin/mergemaster" to merge in the config file changes
from 4.8. But getting your config files up to date is the only part
that's not simple.
If you want to do a source upgrade, the handbook covers that in "the
cutting edge". But the sequence is:
# cvsup # to get new sources.
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make kernel KERNCONF=whatever # use your kernel config file name here
# shutdown -r # reboot new kernel in single user mode.
Then, in single user mode
# fsck -p
# mount -a
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# /usr/sbin/mergemaster
And again, it should all just work, except for the mergemaster step.
