hi, not a freebsd bug, rather a blackout in my head. therefore not clear where the appropriate mailing list is. done a portupgrade via cvsup. fine. used portsclean with the -iL ( or -iD) switch, to clean out unused shared libraries. and now I blew it up: with the message: /usr/lib/libcurses.so.5 is shadowed by .... etc. and other messages, all concerning lib** . I deleted them all. now I remember installing compat-4-* a short time before as /ports/graphics/xnview was complaining about a stale dependancy. the "shadowed " files were the compat-4-* ones. now , with the familiar boot, after the message: Mounting root from ads02 the machine wants to drop into single user mode, but it doesnt find any shells, instead there is the message: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: shared object "libncurses.so.5" not found. I suspect, if this one was found, there were other complaints about the other lib* files I deleted. only the loader prompt is working, but leads in the end to the same message. tried the emergency shell from a 5.1 disk, but I am uncertain what to do and do not want to screw up the data completely. the idea is: make world again with the last sources ( current, last update 20. or 21 april), as they were working nicely. any ideas how I can get a shell ? or another solution ? no need to tell me about banging my head into all available walls. :( the machine is a notebook without floppy drive. thanks hans
