I periodically clean /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, so it shouldn't be long before the links and the libraries they are aliasing are both gone. However, what is different here from what portupgrade usually does (i.e. leaving old libraries in that compat dir)? > Running pkg_libchk [-q] after port upgrades has worked well for me.

I normally use sysutils/libchk. I never tried pkg_libchk, but I'm curious. What is the advantage of one over the other? bye & Thanks av.
