Upgraded from what?

If from a previous version and that version was running well, then it
strongly suggests you fouled-up the upgrade process, doesn't it?

WTF is a "package library"?

Get a grip.

Before pointing the finger at FreeBSD, remind yourself that you will then
have four fingers pointing at yourself.

Your best bet, in the circumstances of your inability to provide anything
informative by way of logs, error messages and such-like, is to obliterate
your probably borked installation.

Then re-install the OS and restore your data from backup.

If you fancy wasting a lot of time, then carry on sending angry missives
to this list, telling all and sundry about how crap you consider FreeBSD
to be. That *always* impresses the readership of this list and makes them
want to help you.

Anyway, your call.
