Thank you very much for the information, which is news to me.

As a matter of fact, pkg-static does work without symlinking libarchive.so.7 to *.6, while svnlite does not.

I built subversion 1.9.5 from the ports, however, I used the dependencies from package repository -- because building software on the BBB simply takes too long for being viable in the long run. For the time being, I will build step by step the dependencies from the ports, and by this I will see which one is the show stopper in the moment.

Many thanks again and best regards
