expat-1.95.7 Version problems

[Scott Donaldson]

Hi,

I'm sorry if you've already heard this question and answered it, but I 
didn't keep my old messages to know.

Quick background of the system, FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT though I guess it counts 
as 5.2-RELEASE since 5.2-CURRENT was removed and replaced with 5.2.1. Its a 
custom kernel config that works fine, where things have gone wrong is with 
ports.

I downloaded the latest ports collection and started manually updating, 
things were going nice and fine until Apache2 wanted rid of expat-1.95.6_1 
in favour of expat-1.95.7. The problem is that KDE3.2.3 is trying to use 
libexpat.so.4 but expat-1.95.7 replaced it with libexpat.so.5, so really I'm 
at a bit of a loss as what to do.

I've tried to find the older expat version and reinstall it but I can't find 
it in the ports section. The change log doesn't mention much diff so could I 
create a symbolic link to libexpat.so.5 with the name libexpat.so.4?

Thanks in advance, and if I'm just being stupid feel free to have a good 
laugh. I'm gonna play around some more see if I can convince it to work, any 
ideas would be very much welcomed.

On another note, how well does DragonFlyBSD co-exist with FreeBSD? I was 
giving a lot of thought to installing it since it spawned from FreeBSD and I 
like playing with different OSes.

Bye.
