A huge six-day fix of seamonkey breakage on 11-CURRENT of april 2016, upgra= ded finally last night to pkg 12-CURRENT feb 2017 working and etc by base.txz=20 overwrite etc... ............................................... I've many many hours to restore the desktop to full how-it-was-before, but = as it is working, now, a wholesale 3xxx reinstall of ports by pkg (which had to occur OUT OF Xorg for stall issues... and lack of granularity in the use of "pkg upgrade" (ie thirty-by-thirty) or lack of code in "pkg install" (terse deinstalls necc. where reinstalls were needed) as of this date.... ................................................. Mostly fixed as I write from the fixed system, but the only reason I am usi= ng seamonkey now, and also fixed firefox, just then, is the series of commands... which = I expect to maybe re-break when v12 upgrades _4 seamonkey to _5 which broke (segfaults)= here from ports the port... but in the meantime .......................................... cp -iv /[backup mount}/usr/local/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5.10 /usr/local/lib/co= mpat/libevent-2.0.so.5 cp -iv /usr/local/lib/compat/libevent-2.0.so.5 /usr/ports/www/seamonkey/lib= event-2.0.so.5-NECC-FOR-SEAMONKEY .......................................... backup restored a newly overnight broken seamonkey AND firefox, the former = not as of a day or so from ports being able to run. ......................................... This is quite the showstopper here... almost forced a reinstall of 2004-201= 7 ( this desktop) to a 2016-STABLE v11 new disk.... which I may have to revert to if seamonke= y breaks again or the next iteration of libevent/seamonkey/firefox does not fix up with CLI s= uch as this time. .................................... Out of time for a PR or bug report offically, and hope to gain more pressing urgency to this problem than might be attained, that way... out of= time also. ................................... Thanks for reading, and thanks for putting up with interim list messages in= the last few days which still had a bit of almost PBKAC combined with lack of documentat= ion combined with newbie-ness here which had yet to resolve...=20 and thanks for the forum post(s) which helped resolve the seemingly-lost-ca= use issue of the v11-CURRENT upgrade to v12-CURRENT which appears to have worked today vs s= everal days ago, IF seamonkey continues to be fixable locally. ....................................
