This seems to be an important omission, as not running "make delete-old" or "make delete-old-libs" can result in warnings like these: /usr/bin/ld: warning: libz.so.4, needed by /usr/local/lib/libtiff.so, may confli ct with libz.so.5 /usr/bin/ld: warning: librpcsvc.so.4, needed by /usr/local/lib/libXext.so, may c onflict with librpcsvc.so.5 or build failures in ports, or various other inconsistencies. I volunteer to write a paragraph or two about this somewhere in section 24.7. Any comments? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
