I'm using FBSD 10 and trying to work through the things I broke after running 'make delete-old-libs' as suggested in the handbook. Ultimately I just rebuilt all ports with 'portupgrade -f "*" '. Unfortunately, I had an issue with databases/db42 and then other issues because it failed. I tried running it again and saw messages about it being deprecated. Then it failed with this line: /usr/bin/ld: .libs/cxx_db.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `_ZTV2Db' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC .libs/cxx_db.o: could not read symbols: Bad value c++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) *** [libdb_cxx-4.2.la] Error code 1 So I don't know what that is all about but it led me to wonder why databases/db42 is on my system in the first place. If I know what port pulled it in, then maybe I can rebuild that port to use a newer version of this that's not deprecated. I've read the new pkg man page but can't figure out how to get it to tell me what pulled databases/db42 in. Thanks, Drew -- Like card tricks?
