After reboot sshd would not run, complaining about ld-elf.so.1, exactly as described here: (not by me) http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-July/152760.html Digging into the issue I found that 3 files had been flagged "schg" /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libcrypt.so.3 /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 None of these three files were upgraded, and as such didn't link correctly. I believe that the installer should be smart unenough to unflag these files before upgrading them. >How-To-Repeat: chflags schg /lib/libc.so.6 chflags schg /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 Attempt a binary upgrade. >Fix: Check for these flags and remove them before trying to copy the new files in place. AND* check return codes to confirm that the files were successfully copied! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
