Hello,

My system was first installed as 10.0-RELEASE. I have since upgraded to =
10.1, 10.1-STABLE, 10.2-RELEASE and is now at 10.2-RELEASE-p8.
I=E2=80=99ve rebuild from source and followed the steps in the handbook. =
Everything is fine=E2=80=A6 but:

I see many files in /usr/lib with old dates, apparently they are no =
longer installed during upgrades.

My /etc/make.conf looks like this:

NO_PROFILE=3Dtrue
WITHOUT_X11=3Dyes

Today, January the 4th, I upgraded to -p8. The newly installed files has =
todays date, i.e =E2=80=9DJan  4=E2=80=9D.
If I do:

ls -lF /usr/lib | grep -v 'Jan  4' | awk {'print $9'}

=E2=80=A6I get the following list of (obsolete?) files and folders with =
older dates.
