I was upgrading a system from zlib 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 and I removed 1.1.3, using pkgrm. When I went to install 1.1.4 with pkgadd, it complained with the following error:


The following files are already installed on the system and are being used by another package:
* /usr/local/lib/libz.a

* - confilict with a file which does not belong to any package.


I wouldn't think anything on this system would be using that library file, but I'd rather not overwrite it until I'm certain. Isn't there a way to tell what would be using that file?

Thanks in advance,

Troy
