I made careless use of:

cd /usr/src && make -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES delete-old-libs

– then found applications such as LibreOffice no longer working as 
expected. Resolved (I believe):

pkg remove inkscape libreoffice && pkg autoremove && pkg install 
inkscape libreoffice

Please: how can I positively identify other applications that I might 
have broken through careless deletion of old libraries?
