Just for informational purposes:

It is a problem with how the FreeBSD upgrade tools work and how a port
(read: application, library, whatever) manages its own build.

Usually a port, in case it links to one of its own components, should do
that by using the just built component in its build directory. Some of
them however do not do that but use the complete system environment,
thus it can happen that they link to e.g. an older version of themselves
or so, causing anything to fail as you just noticed.

Marcus
