In theory at least you should get the same or newer packages that way. But I doubt that you need to rebuild the browser and plugins. The point is that I used "portinstall -PPR" some time between January 20 and 24. And it is probably the -R that has sucked in some updated library. I see a couple of Linux libraries last updated on January 22. Packages with "linux" in their name on my machine comprise the following: %pkg_info -Ex linux linux-expat-1.95.8 linux-flashplugin-7.0r69 linux-fontconfig-2.2.3_5 linux-xorg-libs-6.8.2_5 linux_base-fc-4_9 linuxpluginwrapper-20051113_6 You could check whether you have the same versions. And we could make other such checks if anyone has an idea what to look for. But it needs to be said that I also downloaded other things in those four days. And, most significantly, I settled some problems with my Nvidia driver. Maybe this was what made the penny drop. -- Tore
