No one has jumped in with advice, so I'd like to know
if you make any decision:: like mv'ing, say,
/lib/libcrypto.so.3 to /lib/libcrypto.so.3.tmp
and see what hits the fan. If anything.
I'm working, carefully, on upgrading my three FBSD
platforms and saw the same thing you have with portsclean.
I also used libchk, but it didn't help very much.
So I'm wondering too.
(NOT to complain, but how does Linux/Ubuntulinux keep its
systems free of excess libs?)
