Some of them may be obsolete, in which case they're unnecessary, but also not hurting anything. And some of them haven't changed in years, so depending on the options you're using on install(1), you wouldn't expect them to be 'replaced.' > 2) Some libraries in /usr/lib e.g. lib???_p.a were files under 4.2 and > are symlinks under 4.3 haven't been updated You mean the profiled libraries? They're normally built by default, but unless you were deliberately using them in place of the unprofiled versions, you won't miss them, either. Make sure that the "NOPROFILE=true" line is commented out of /etc/make.conf, and those should get updated next time around. [One of my suspicions is that you either edited files in /etc/defaults, or you failed to update them as part of your upgrade process. Either way would be mistake, although not particularly fatal.] > How do I go about reconciling this mess? I'm beginning to think that > source-level updates are not the way to go. What mess? What isn't working? So far, it's not clear to me that there is any actual *problem* here...
