The missing files are not created by bulefish but are present in all gnome installations. I just don't wknow what vreated them and why they are missing from the package DB. I have all of these files on all of my systems that have MATE installed, but none have bluefish, with one possible exception, none has ever had bluefish. The packing list does include these files which is almost certainly wrong. I suspect it was auto-generated and, since those files were not in the database, it added them to pkg-plist. (This is just a guess, though.) It looks like something is broken in a lower level of the gnome infrastructure that is causing this, bu it will take someone more familiar than I to figure out what and how. One "interesting" note is the output of "make -C /usr/ports quicksearch name=bluefish" shows: ort: bluefish-2.2.10 Path: /usr/ports/www/bluefish Info: HTML editor designed for the experienced web designer Port: www/bluefish-devel Moved: Date: 2014-09-01 Reason: Not staged That last line is likely related in that the pkg-plist includes files that shouldn't be there. At this point I am out of ideas, but a bit more information might be helpful to others (or even me). 1. What version of FreeBSD (likely not useful)? 2. What version of Gnome, MATE or other desktop is installed? 3. Were all ports installed as packages? 4. Are the "shared/mime" files present in your local directory? Sorry that I can't help further, but something is really fubar here as this should be impossible. (Files installed that are not in the package database.) -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
