I am trying to upgrade pidgin to see if that will help with facebook.

pkg info -x pidgin
pidgin-2.10.7_1
--
pkg version -v | grep pidgin
pidgin-2.10.7_1   <   needs updating (index has 2.10.9_4)
--
pkg upgrade -x pidgin
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
pkg: pidgin-skype has a missing dependency: skype
pkg: No packages available to upgrade matching 'pidgin' have been
      found in the repositories
--
pkg search -x pidgin-2
e17-module-everything-pidgin-20130510_1
pidgin-2.10.9_4

I assume this makes sense, just not to me :)

Oh and ...
