I've a v12-CURRENT and a v11-CURRENT, the former suddenly has between feb 04 feb 06 all except ONE of its browsers unuseable .... qupzilla "cant load freebsd.org"... etc for ALL tested url seamonkey segfault firefox cannot accept 2 as input Anywhere qupzilla-qt4 bus error ........ vs opera, which TLS - hardened cannot see freebsd.org ...... and am in the process of for the first time since 2004 having to *maybe* reinstall or redo /usr/local, due to pkg not being able to have a v12 repository and/or a hosed set of libraries for seamonkey and it means about a months of downtime, relative to how efficiently I used the desktop previously... Not wishing to come across as complaining. Newbie still in many ways.
