In short - thanks to your hints everything's healthy again :-)) Here's what I did (in case others are suffering from this problem too): fgrep -e lzma -nHr /usr/local/lib --include='*.la' yielded a bunch of results - grep-ed for "/usr/local/lib/liblzma.la". Then feeded these into pkg_info -W which nicely pointed me to the corresponding port where this library comes from. The only thing I had to do then was to make deinstall;make clean; make install this port. In my case it was e.g. the "ImageMagick-6.7.0.10_1" port causing all the mess.

Do you know which port is causing that error message to be emitted? If you can identify it, then a little sleuthing in the ports it depends on may well turn up some clues. It's a matter of looking at the Makefiles for the ports further up the dependency tree to see if they would have a dependency on xz(1) or liblzma in older versions of FreeBSD; try grepping Makefiles for 'DEPENDS.*/archivers/xz' Then try rebuilding those ports, and so on up the dependency tree until you get to the problem port. Or you can sledgehammer it, by forcibly rebuilding everything that the complaining port depends on -- portupgrade -fR portname (IIRC. I may have mixed up the 'r' and 'R' flags there) or portmaster -f portname That could take a lot of time and CPU cycles but it will probably sort things out in the end. Also, what do you get from this command: % ldconfig -r | grep lzma 38:-llzma.5 => /usr/lib/liblzma.so.5 Unless the output is similar to as shown, you've got a stray copy of liblzma.so floating about that may be confusing things.

Re: portupgrades fail because of missing /usr/local/lib/liblzma.la
Hi Matthew, Unfortunately this doesn't work as expected: # pkg_info -Rx xz Information for xz-5.0.3: # so it seems like nothing depens on xz. Next, I did a fresh cvsup for the ports-tree followed by a "pkgdb -L"; then again "pkg_info -Rx xz" - again nothing seems to depend on xz. So I tried "portupgrade -arR" again - sure enough it failed with the same errors: /usr/local/lib/liblzma.la: No such file or directory So how can I rebuild all ports that depend on "xz" without even knowing which ones depend on xz (because pkg_info -Rx says nothing depends on xz)?? Puzzled... :-|.

If I go to xz's directory in ports (under archivers) and try to do make deinstall: xz$ sudo make deinstall ===> Deinstalling for archivers/xz ===> xz not installed, skipping So this also fails as xz is not installed at all, it is in the base itself. I cannot seem to get around the problem as even after I deinstalled evince and installed xpdf "portmaster -a" is still trying to install evince.

(BTW, not even "make deinstall && make clean && make > install" helps) xz(1) and the associated libraries are now part of the base system in stable/8 and above. Actually it (the ports build process) does. However, if you have a version of liblzma.so installed from ports, autoconf will find that and assume that's your preferred version to link against. > o) What can I do to get ports recognize the correct location of the > xz-libraries? You should first get a list of all your installed ports that depend on archivers/xz (pkg_info -Rx xz), then force delete the archivers/xz port and then rebuild all the ports that linked against it. Note that portupgrade(8) defaults to keeping a copy of the old liblzma.so shlib in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, and portmaster(8) will do similarly if given the '-w' option: this will allow un-rebuilt ports to continue working during your upgrade, but shouldn't confuse the ports build process. Remember to delete the old shlib once you're done rebuilding.
