Like Kris said, not really good. An option may be, if you want to limit
your exposure to compatibility issues, is to use libmap.conf , so you only
map libc.so.6 as .5 ONLY for certain executables/libraries that depend on
them.
I find it this method a much better one to managed - one central place to
manage library tricks, and is more advanced than symlinking. And you can
easily transfer it to other systems

Thank you, Beto, for increasing my knowledge. I'll take a look at libmap.conf
and read any extant info on it.

of course it is as evil if do it carelessly, but it's a more controlled
sym-linking of forms, as you can tell it that a certain symlink only applies to
one application and not all of them. probably doesn't really apply to this
example, but, from my experience, it is far better than symlinking.
libmap.conf has its uses, but one of the primary reasons for having it
-- switching between different threading implementations -- is a non-issue
on 7.0 where you get libthr style threads as standard. I think there
may be one or two ports that advise you to make specific libmap.conf
settings, but unless you've installed one of those, you really should
not need a libmap.conf at all.

Anyone got any ideas?? Some of your ports did not get rebuilt as 7.0 binaries. You need to track down which ones they are and rebuild them (ignore anyone who tells you to install compat6x, it will only mask your immediate problem and may cause others). If you saved the portupgrade -af output it will tell you which ones failed to rebuild. Otherwise you can look for files that were not modified since before your rebuild attempt.
