Thanks to you and Olivier Duchateau for explanation regarding complications involved in updating QupZilla! I see Haikuports includes QupZilla only up to 1.8.7, and QupZilla is not in NetBSD pkgsrc but is in pkgsrc/wip (work in progress) at v1.8.6. I'd like to be able to switch fully from qt4 to qt5, but print/hplip is set up only for qt4; however print/hplip in pkgsrc offers the choice between qt4 and qt5, qt4 being regarded as legacy. Tom
