My copy of the Epiphany browser is built on libxul 17.0.7, which still works, as does Thunderbird 17.0.7. I had finish a system recompile of FreeBSD 9.2 i386 from stable and all my 1166 ports on July 30th. A quick update on July 31st became a problem after running portsnap fetch update portsdb -Uu pkgdb -u pkgdb -F before running portupgrade -arR as, without having a heads up from UPDATING, I stripped my pkgdb of its glib20 dependencies. A few pkgdb -L and pkgdb -F s later, and I am now able to trouble shoot the issue. I did a portupgrade -af over the weekend, and still have the same problem.

I think the problem is actually [5]https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/1179554 as described in the bug above. In this case, it does look very Linux-specific. Thanks, Joe. I have installed the new glib and updated all of the dependencies (about 400 of them including libreoffice) and everything seem to be working fine including firefox and thunderbird. I do get the error, but almost everything runs as it should. I can't get multimedia/handbrake to build, but I doubt that it is related to the glib change. I've not really looked at the problem yet. -- R.
