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?
