Not just that. if wget depends on openssl-0.9.6 and now the library is gone, you can't even download wget sources to perform a recompile. I'd suggest a special precaution with production enviornments - always build binary packages. That way you can roll back very fast if things don't work out. You can use quickpkg to make one from the existing filesystem if you're about to upgrade important packages if you didn't build a binary package in the first place. Also, you might want to change /etc/make.conf AUTOCLEAN="yes" to no. Eldad -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
