 How did you install last three pieces of software anyway?

 You need to recompile all the software that was dependent on
 libexpat.so.4 so that it would be dependent on libexpat.so.5.
 
 In the mean time, see if a link from libexpat.so.5 to libexpat.so.4
 would satisfy the failing applications.  That did work for me until
 i had the time to recompile the depending software.
 
 For the next time, remember to upgrade depending software when
 you upgrade dependency software.
 
 I personally stay away from using portupgrade to actually do
 upgrade; wait for others to resolve your issues w/ portupgrade.

 Wow, that is really unnecessarily excessive!
  YES,it cost me 3 hours to finish it!
 
 You can upgrade ports software from the ports w/o the need of
 upgrading the base system.  (In most cases anyway.  Sometimes one
 would need to upgrade base system *eventually* to be able to
 build/install software from ports.  But that's another thread.)
Agree with you! I would not miss it next time! Thanks
for your reply.
