    hi,

    not a freebsd bug, rather a blackout in my head. therefore not clear
    where the appropriate mailing list is.
    done a portupgrade via cvsup. fine.
    used portsclean with the -iL ( or -iD) switch, to clean out unused
    shared libraries.
    and now I blew it up:
    with the message: /usr/lib/libcurses.so.5 is shadowed by .... etc.
    and other messages, all concerning lib** . I deleted them all.
    now I remember installing compat-4-* a short time before as
    /ports/graphics/xnview was complaining about a stale dependancy. the
    "shadowed " files were the compat-4-* ones.

    now , with the familiar boot, after the message:
    Mounting root from ads02
    the machine wants to drop into single user mode, but it doesnt find any
    shells, instead there is the message:
    /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: shared object "libncurses.so.5" not found.
    I suspect, if this one was found, there were other complaints about the
    other lib* files I deleted.
    only the loader prompt is working, but leads in the end to the same
    message.
    tried the emergency shell from a 5.1 disk, but I am uncertain what to do
    and do not want to screw up the data completely.

    the idea is: make world again with the last sources ( current, last
    update 20. or 21 april),
     as they were working nicely.
    any ideas how I can get a shell ?
    or another solution ?

    no need to tell me about banging my head into all available
    walls. :(
    the machine is a notebook without floppy drive.

    thanks

    hans
