No, I don't mean checking for broken ports :-P In fact, when I Google around for the answer to my question, that's all I can find, which is why I bring my question to the mailing list instead :) Maybe "broken ports" or "broken packages" isn't the right term (what should I be searching for instead?) What I want to know is, are there tools that will check the ports I've installed and tell me if any of my packages are linked against libraries that are no longer there? I'm paranoid that at some point, while I'm building and installing updates, I'm going to break something. I've been using FreeBSD for a little while now, but I'm still learning... :) Thanks in advance! James
