I recently (the 15th) rebuilt firefox 2.0.0.13 from ports. Worked
reasonably well, too. Did some upgrading of dependencies and fiddling by
hand, so not as smooth as one-command-solves-all portupgrade.

I have no idea what that dependency is and I don't seem to have it on
my (6.2) system.

Reading the Makefile suggests you have the smb:// url option enabled. If
it's not important to you, turn it off and see if that helps.

*checks the release notes* Oh, I should've known that a day after I
finally got around to upgrading from 2.0.0.4 they'd come out with yet
one more security advisory. How annoying.

I used to upgrade Firefox on 6.1 all the time. I
recall some clashes between fam and gamin, but I don't
recall if it had anything to do with firefox. Obviously
this is a problem with gio-fam-backend.

No, it's off. The only option I had enabled was the
first one, something to the effect of opening external
links in a new tab.

Isn't that always the way. I'm tired of looking at
my portaudit e-mail every day telling me my 2.0.0.12
has multiple vulnerabilities.

Okay, so your problems are specifically with gio-fam-backend. Firefox
is failing because it's *supposed* to depend on gio-fam-backend, so
that's no mystery. What happens when you try to build
gio-fam-backend? It looks like something went funny with the build,
and you should try gio-fam-backend again, cleaning it first and
looking at the results.

The error I get is above, in the post you're quoting.

Already done, but let's try again with more of the
tail end of the compile before the error:

Just want to say that I upgraded Firefox today with "make install
clean", and there was no problem. Some system info:

%pkg_info -Ex gio
gio-fam-backend-2.16.1_1

%uname -a

Must be something rotten in your ports or package data.

Steve, what version of glib do you have installed? You may need to
install glib 2 ( I have glib-2.16.3 here) before you can build the
gio-fam-backend-2.16.3 port. Looking at the Makefile it says



PORTNAME= gio-fam-backend
PORTVERSION= 2.16.3
CATEGORIES= devel
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_GNOME:S,%SUBDIR%,sources/glib/${PORTVERSION:C/^([0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*/\1/},} \
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/${PORTVERSION:C/^([0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*/\1/}/ \
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/%SUBDIR%/ \
ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/gimp/%SUBDIR%/ \
http://www.ameth.org/gimp/%SUBDIR%/ \
${MASTER_SITE_RINGSERVER:S,%SUBDIR%,graphics/gimp/%SUBDIR%,}
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= gtk/v${PORTVERSION:C/^([0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*/\1/}
DISTNAME= glib-${PORTVERSION}




I have these installed and Firefox builds with no problems.

Yeah, same here.

With it in mind that something might have been corrupted
(though I don't see how with the checksums), I deleted
/usr/ports/distfiles/gnome2/glib-2.16.3.tar.bz2 and tried
again with a freshly downloaded glib-2.16.3.tar.bz2.
I still get the same error.

Strange.

It is indeed!

Forgive me if this is off track - have you done a


pkgdb -F lately? To tidy up the package database and links etc?

Within the last day or two. It gets done every time
I do a csup.

Well, I had a rummage in the FreeBSD questions mailing lists and this
thread looks as though it might be relevant ....



http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...ch/171986.html



But from your description you must have already upgraded glib ?

Worth trying that re-built again?

I hadn't given it much thought, since obviously
it would have been upgraded as a dependency if it
were needed. (That's my way of avoiding saying I
*assumed* it had been done.)

> Worth trying that re-built again?

That did it. Thanks. gio-fam-backend built fine
once glib2 was rebuilt, and firefox is building as I
type.

Near as I can tell, here's what I *think* happened.
I had glib-2.14.2 installed, but when gio-fam-backend
went to get portupgraded, it downloaded glib-2.16.3.tgz
and tried to build gio-fam-backend-2.16.3 without first
upgrading the existing glib-2.14.2.

Since your link above would seem to indicate this has
happened to at least two other people, it's likely a
problem with the way the dependencies are implemented.
