It's not normal in FreeBSD. Library versions are only changed when there is an incompatible change that means the new library *CANNOT* be used with certain old binaries. While you may be able to sometimes get away with running certain applications (or certain parts of applications) that do not interact with the incompatible changes, it is never a safe thing to do.

It's bogus because a) the real solution exists and is trivial (install the relevant compat port), and b) your advice *will* break applications. Shared library revision numbers are bumped for a good reason, of course, namely because there are changes made that break backwards compatibility.

It provides a temporary solution in some cases, when you need to get going. It is not a long term solution. tomdean ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

And if you are absolutelly sure that you can live with it, you can force installation of vulnerable libs - please read ports(7) manpage to find out how to do it (just a safety measure on my part :-).

If you have run it before then it will continue to work as well as it ever did though.
