My ports tree wasn't out of date. I investigated further and found out, I had an old version of libsnmp.4 in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/ from portupgrade, That library was found by the bsd.port.mk dependency check so that the net-snmp4 port was not installed. At the Moment bsd.port.mk checks for libdependencies like this: /sbin/ldconfig -r | /usr/bin/grep -qwF -e "-l$lib" and /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg is in the LDPATH. So if a port depends on an older version of an installed library, it may get the dependencies wrong, if the compat directory isn't clean. A solution might be, to check if the library found is in the "compat" Directory. If that's true, the dependency-check should evaluate to false. I think this PR should be reopened and reassigned to portmgr. regards arved To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
