I had a lot of issues with firefox. It turns out that in the current setup I could have just updated the offending package without breaking anything else. I had no confidence in this until I did a from scratch install doing xorg, xdm, firefox and xfce. Done in that order it all works. Since I had nothing invested in the new system I installed libreoffice, gimp and chrome next. Both libreoffice and gimp warn that they will replace some packages and update others. I think firefox should add this to their package. Since all this worked I decided to install libreoffice and gimp on my workstation. The libreoffice install deleted thunderbird and updated firefox, replaced a few packages and updated others. It worked so I installed gimp with similar results. It too worked. At the end of this firefox gave my original sqlite3 error. Updating sqlite3 fixed this. Chrome did not work but re-installing fixed that. All that history to explain what I do not understand. In installing chrome I got errors about missing dependencies but it works. Running 'pkg check' on the updated system gives: artemis:/home/doug# pkg check -d -a Checking all packages: 100% firefox has a missing dependency: libGL libva has a missing dependency: libGL tigervnc has a missing dependency: libGL webkit2-gtk3 has a missing dependency: libGL webkit2-gtk3 has a missing dependency: libEGL webkit2-gtk3 is missing a required shared library: libwebp.so.6 xdriinfo has a missing dependency: libGL xorg-server has a missing dependency: libGL xorg-server has a missing dependency: gbm >>> Missing package dependencies were detected. >>> Found 3 issue(s) in the package database. pkg: No packages available to install matching 'libGL' have been found in the repositories >>> Summary of actions performed: libGL dependency failed to be fixed libEGL dependency failed to be fixed gbm dependency failed to be fixed >>> There are still missing dependencies. >>> Try fixing them manually. >>> Also make sure to check 'pkg updating' for known issues. On the from scratch system 'pkg check' shows no errors. Doing 'pkg info -x libGL' on both systems gives: libGLU-9.0.0_3 libglade2-2.6.4_8 libgltf-0.0.2_6 On the updated system everything works except gnumeric (I have not re-installed) and a note-pad program (xpad) does not highlight selected text. That is the same on both systems. What and how should I fix things manually? _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-217-9220 Fax: 301-217-9277
