Here is one that has been around a bit... It appears that Netscape depends on the XFree86 a.out libaries being installed as a dependency. Ok. However, the package that supposedly has them won't load, claiming: "There do not appear to be any a.out libaries on this machine. Please install the compat22 distribution via /stand/sysinstall...." In short, it appears that this package needs an update to let it know how to find the a.out libraries correctly. This has a large user impact, as Netscape can not be installed via the package system (and it generates a bunch of dependency errors to boot!). -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
