I feared as much...:(

Hmmm, to be honest, I'm not certain how I can best fix this. It is my 
live server which is up 24/7, and of which I'd rather not break anything 
just to get logrotate going....

I considered trying to install it as a package using sysinstall, but 
that complains that the fbsd 5.2.1 distribution cannot be found on the 
FTP servers anymore.

Ideally, I'd like to (re)build the logrotate port such that it will 
work. I guess that does involve doing what you say: rebuilding 
everything that depends on the conflicting library. However, I do not 
know exactly how to do this.

Can anyone perhaps tell me how I can find out which ports depend on this 
library, and how I can correctly update the lot such that it will all 
work, and such that I can install the logrotate port correctly?

Cheers!
