So if pkg_rr finished and all the packages got rebuilt (and you had no stale work directories), then in theory everything should be consistent. > However, now, windowmaker is not working: if I start certain > applications (emacs but even xterm!) it crashes and restarts, leaving > a core file with no readable stacktrace.

So windowmaker crashes, and that's the only problem? Probably you have an actual windowmaker problem, but I would double check that your cvs checkout of pkgsrc is consistent (all HEAD, all 2014Q1, etc., but not mixed) remove all work directories rerun "pkg_rolling-replace -uv" (not -k) and look at the output. It should say there is nothing do do. If you then still have problems: run ldd on windowmaker and see what it uses, and which of those got updated "cd /var/db/pkg; ls -lt */+CONTENTS". Look at all the things windowmaker depends on and see if you an spot anything that was built out of order. Probably all is ok if pkg_rr -uv doesn't do anything. run windowmaker under gdb post a note a about windowmaker, with much more detail about which pkgsrc branch, windowmaker version, system version, etc.
