Solved Big problems with 2 shared libraries

S

sewulba

I upgraded my System from 12.1 to 12.2. No Problem.
If I update my System I the following messages, but update is possible.

Code: 
(py36-cffi-1.13.2) /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/_cffi_backend.so - required shared library libffi.so.6 not found

How can I solve this problem? It works all well, but I feel disturbed by this message.

Thanks for your reply.
I made I dry run and got this.
Code: 
[0]FreeBSD ~ # pkg autoremove -n

Nothing to do.

Or is there a better possibility?

Are you using packages or ports? When was the last time you updated your ports/packages? If you used pkg-upgrade(8) all these 3.6 packages would have been automatically replaced by 3.7 versions.

Right, these are orphaned. I suspect they're dependencies of net/GeoIP. That port has been deprecated for some time. According to the MOVED instructions you should use net/libmaxminddb instead. Or if you don't need it, remove it. Then pkg-autoremove(8) will probably remove all these too.

security/bro is also deprecated a long time ago. Removing that will probably clean up the rest. You really need to run pkg-upgrade(8) more often, it looks like you don't update at all or at most once a year.
 
I use pkg upgrade and so on several time the month. So I wonder.

---
I removed all orphaned Package now by hand. I think all is okay now:

Code: 
[0]FreeBSD ~ # pkg version -vRL=
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.

Many, many thanks for the Super help here.
 
If I make update on my FreeBSD System I use a script. There are the following commands on it:

Code: 
/usr/sbin/pkg update
/usr/sbin/pkg upgrade
/usr/sbin/pkg check -B -d
/usr/sbin/pkg clean -a
/usr/sbin/pkg audit -F
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install
/usr/sbin/pkg autoremove

Is there something missing?
 
I use that pkg version -vRL= a lot. Not only does it show which packages need updating but it also shows those orphaned packages. Orphaned packages can happen if the package fails to build for example. If you find them, do some investigating to see why they're orphaned. Some times ports are deprecated and should be replaced by something else (like the ones you had). If it's because of build failures you just need to wait until those issues are resolved, then they will be updated like everything else. But at the very least you're aware there's a problem that needs resolving.

After you removed some packages (using pkg-delete(8)) make sure to also run pkg-autoremove(8). That will clean up unused dependencies. Otherwise your system might get clogged up with a bunch of packages you don't need any more.

I'd be interested in learning how to investigate orphaned ports. Is this documented anywhere?
Click to expand...
First you look at the ports tree, has the port been deprecated? Maybe changed names? If the port is still there then I look at the build status of the package repository, ports can fail to build for various reasons.

For the official packages this is useful: https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/
