If I understand correctly, the reason of this was not making delete-old and delete-old-libs? So should following upgrade procedure be painless? 0. Backup! 1. cvsup 8.0-stable 2. make buildworld && make buildkernel 3. make installkernel 4. reboot and jump to single user mode 5. make installworld && mergemastger 6. take a deep breath & reboot 7. portupgrade -afi 8. make delete-old && make delete-old-libs 9. reboot 10. Hooray! My concern is - will my ports works after point 6. ? Quite important thing when machine can't be offline by hours during portupgrade -afi .... -- Bartosz Stec
