The underlying assumption of all upgrade instructions also is that you start from a fully updated "old" system, i. e. 9.3-RELEASE-pwhatever (some p>50 IIRC) plus fully updated ports as of 9.3, as of "just before EOL", i. e. 2016-12-31, possibly with the 2016Q4 ports branch rather than head. If something requires libdb-4.2.so.2, then you haven't seen to your system since summer (northern hemisphere) 2014, and expect things to break. It may be easier to backup configuration and user data, and rebuild a new system from scratch in your situation. Note that I'd removed Berkeley DB 4.2 from FreeBSD's ports tree 2½ years ago, exactly 2014-08-21T22:50Z, leaving only 4.8 and newer at the time. <https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=365599>, and running a web server that you haven't updated in 27 months is *not* considered good practice. Please plan sufficient time to maintain your software and install security updates thoroughly. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
