>Description:
I had done a dozen or more binary upgrades from 6.0 to 6.2, and I just had one fail in an interesting manner. After reboot sshd would not run, complaining about ld-elf.so.1, exactly as described here: (not by me)
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-July/152760.html
Digging into the issue I found that 3 files had been flagged "schg"
/lib/libc.so.6
/lib/libcrypt.so.3
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1
None of these three files were upgraded, and as such didn't link correctly.
I believe that the installer should be smart unenough to unflag these files before upgrading them.
>How-To-Repeat:
chflags schg /lib/libc.so.6
chflags schg /libexec/ld-elf.so.1
Attempt a binary upgrade.
>Fix:
Check for these flags and remove them before trying to copy the new files in place.
AND* check return codes to confirm that the files were successfully copied!
