The branding of all libs (and plug-ins) has to be the same as the branding of
the binary which loads it (ideally "Linux" in this case). Please compare them
with "brandelf <file>".

In case you had the CorporateTime stuff installed before you (re)installed
the linux_base-8 stuff, some files of CorporateFile may have been branded by
the linux_base-8 port (ideally a linux_base port is installed only once, and
before every other linux port, for several reasons; it should only cause
problems in edge-cases if it's reinstalled...).

Bye,
Alexander.
