post-upgrade dealing with old libraries ..
Hi !
I'd be thankful to anyone who'll make an attempt to clearify this to me : 0- The difference between /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib 1- Sometimes after an upgrade I meet with issues like 'bad major' .. no packages or ports are installed yet and /var/db/pkg is all empty .. what's the way to deal with those old libraries ? remove them ? where from ? Thanks all ! |

Check hier(7) and intro(3).

Thank you jggimi !
I didn't build from source .. just upgraded from 5.1 -current to 5.2 -current. When a sync issue occurs .. what's the next step to do ? |

I have mentioned, in a number of your threads, that in order to use -current, the OpenBSD user is expected to be able to be able to keep third party programs in sync. Either you are having trouble upgrading -current, or you are having trouble with third party software sync. Perhaps you would have less trouble operating -release+errata or -stable instead of -current? You have also been informed, more than once, that when upgrading you should not need to use pkg_delete; there is no reason to remove third party software -- OS upgrades do not remove old libraries third party software may depend upon. It appears you have not taken this advice and are still unnecessarily removing third party software as part of your upgrade procedure. |

Posting to add:
I don't know if your system(s) are actually mis-configured or broken. As usual, I don't have enough information -- and I'm just not going to ask any longer -- asking you two thousand times is enough. For all I know, you might just be seeing normal library sync failure messages during pkg_add. If that's the case, there's nothing broken -- you will just not be able to install the requested package(s) until you build and install/update the affected component(s). This requires the same skills that I mentioned already, above, and in many other threads of yours:
