Most are recognized properly, and instructions are given to update them before proceeding. However, libIDL is not built as a prerequisite, and the build of firefox or thunderbird will fail citing the wrong version of libglib (which was updated as a prerequisite), referenced by libIDL, which still has the old version installed. >How-To-Repeat: Update ports tree, cd /usr/ports/mail/thunderbird or cd /usr/ports/www/firefox, make install. >Fix: After ports tree update: cd /usr/ports/devel/libIDL make deinstall make reinstall >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
