I'm rather tired of having to update firefox port due security fixes and 
then having to build the new versions of
glib, expat, and so on an so on, every one of which complains that tere 
are older versions of the lib installed.

I've tried pkg_delete -f and install of the newer version, but then all 
the binaries in the system started complaining
because they don't find the exact version of the shared library they are 
compiled with.

What's the intelligent way of dealing with the problem?
(Prefferably the one which does not include downloading 600+ MB of 
source every time :-( )
