I meant the 1.0 versions vs the 1.1 versions.  I have all three ports
(mozilla, -headers, and -embedded) installed.  I had updated them to
the 1.1 versions when that change was committed.  When you posted that
you were backing that out, I avoided further updates until the dust had
settled a bit and the -devel versions were available.  Then I added
'-devel' to the origins of the installed ports.  Even then, I did not
try to directly update the mozilla ports; they were caught in a -recursive
on the XFree86 ports.

The unexpected downgrade was probably caused by whatever went silently
wrong with the index updates after the cvsup.  (There is a small but
non-zero probability that I failed to run the 'portsdb --updateindex
--update')

The oldest files in any of /var/db/pkg/mozilla-* are timestamped Sept
5 5:51 (Pacific time).  The portsupgrade would have been started right
after the cvsup and (probable) index rebuild.

There are no +REQUIRED_BY files in the -headers or -embedded dirs; so
manual de-install and re-install should work fine for them.  And, rather
surprisingly, the only entry for mozilla itself is the flashplugin, which
should probably be re-built anyway.

Am I correct in believing that the mozilla and mozilla-headers installs
should be kept in sync; but need not match mozilla-embedded ?  (E.g.,
Install mozilla-1.1, mozilla-headers-1.1, mozilla-embedded-1.0; but not
mozilla-1.1, mozilla-headers-1.0, mozilla-embedded-1.0.)
