Folks: I have upgraded a server from 6.3 to 7.0. That went rather smoothly. I have a question about removing old libraries via make delete-old. Given the list of old libraries shown at the end of this URL: http://www.freebsddiary.org/upgrade-6.3-to-7.0.php Is that list more or less expected? From what I can tell, it's pretty safe to now do a make delete-old-libs. Do you concur? No, I won't hold you to it. I'm just looking for backup of my decision.

I think I used a tool that checks which shared libraries are used by which program but can't remember how it was called; but anyway you can simply use ldd on your binaries in /usr/local/* to check if any of them still use one of the old libs.
