FROM 12.2 TO 13.0

I have just attempted my first upgrade on a test machine.
After installing the upgrades I get the following message.

'Completing this upgrade requires removing old shared object files.
Please rebuild all installed 3rd party software (e.g., programs
installed from the ports tree) and then run " /usr/sbin/freebsd-update install again to finish installing updates'.

I don't have the experience yet to know the commands to remove (1) the old shared object files & (2) to rebuild 3rd party programs installed from the ports tree. There would be few, if any, of the latter.

How do I find out if I have any of these & how do I remove them.

Any help would be appreciated on this optimistic early adventure.
 
Run pkg-upgrade(8). That will reinstall everything. After every major version upgrade you must reinstall all your ports/packages. When that's done the third and final freebsd-update install will remove all the old 12.x libraries. Until you do that last install your 'old' 12.x executable will continue to work. After that last install they will stop working.
 
SirDice has a useful write up on the procedure. Rather than finding it each time, I've written it down so I can post it in threads like this.
I don't think it's been mentioned that when upgrading packages you should use the -f flag to make sure they all get done.
pkg upgrade -f

FreeBSD 13 annoyances?

Anybody got any Freebsd 13 annoyances, yet? BTW, so far, I'm loving 13, so this isn't a knock on the release - it's beautiful. However, things are different and different is... well, different... and often annoying, so I have an example: One of the first things I noticed with my shiny new...
