For the archives: What I did wrong was to have changed /etc/make.conf by adding PREFIX=3D/common/local subsequent to having installed some of the linux_* ports and before installing or updating others, thus creating an inconsistent environment. The reason for having done that is that I have the machine configured to boot from any of 4 possible slices. I track stable/9 on one slice and head on another -- daily. I also update the installed ports daily (under stable/9). Just as I want my home directory to be the same regardless of which slice is booted, I want /usr/local -- the "ports playground" -- to be the same regardless of which slice is booted. Therefore, each slice has /usr/local set up as a symlink to /common/local. (The filesystem mounted on /common is one of the few that is "common" to all of the slices.) So far, I have done the following in an attempt to extricate myself =66rom the mess; I expect that at some point, I will need to de-install and re-install all of the linux_* ports -- and maybe quite a few others. Here's what I did, then: * Boot from my stable/9 slice into single-user mode. * swapon -a && fsck -p && mount -a * pkg_delete -f linux_base-f10-10_6 * vi /etc/make.conf I tried changing "PREFIX=3D/common/local" to "PREFIX??=3D/common/local" * cd /compat/linux/lib * rm libc.so.6 ld-linux.so.2 These are the symlinks, the creation of which I documented in the message to which this is a reply. * cd /usr/ports/ * pushd emulators/linux_base-f10/ * make -V PREFIX This is a test that Tijl Coosemans suggested to determine the effect of the make.conf specification. The result was "/common/local", which is *not* what was wanted in this case. * vi /etc/make.conf I removed the "PREFIX" specification entirely. I have other machines, some of which use linux_* ports, and they don't ahve the specification. * popd Back to /usr/ports * portmaster emulators/linux_base-f10 This kicked out errors -- couldn't find libpopt.so.0. I poked around a bit & found that this was supposed to be provided by devel/popt -- but naturally, things were in a confused state because of the change of PREFIX. I elected to just re-install that port, and go on a search-and-destroy mission for the bits that were in /common/local (by mistake) later. (I use the laptop for accessing ... just about everything I access. I didn't want to spend longer in single-user mode than I need to.) * portmaster devel/popt This worked. Whew! * portmaster emulators/linux_base-f10 This also worked. * Transition to multi-user mode; observe a certain ... lack of drama. * Crawl into a corner and lick my wounds. :-} Well, some time after 10 is branched, I'll be migrating my "stable" environment to stable/10 anyway, and at that point, I'll need to de-install/re-install all the ports I want to keep$; maybe I will be able to manage to avoid repeating this particular mistake.
