Hi,
I just walked a system from 9.1-RELEASE to 9.3-RELEASE using
'freebsd-update -r 9.3-RELEASE upgrade'
Having fetched, patched, gone to single user - installed, rebooted - and
installed again - I'm greeted by:
"
Completing this upgrade requires removing old shared object file.
Please rebuild all installed 3rd part software (e.g., programs
installed from the ports tree) and then run '/usr/sbin/freebsd-update
install' again to finish installing updates.
"
I thought that only had to happen if you moved between major versions (e.g.
9.x to 10.x?)
I can't find any way of making freebsd-update tell me what files it wants
to remove now either?
If I ignore this (on the understanding I may be running binaries linked
against 'older' libraries) is that OK?
This machine has a lot of ports on it - going from 9.1 to 9.3 was done
because I *thought* that wouldn't require a mass recompile :(
