OK, this is rather getting me down. I seem to be caught in "The Loop Of Death". Upon attempting to install Netscape 6.2 from ports apparently something broke. It seems to install correctly, but when I type netscape, system returns "you dont seem to have netscape installed". OK, how about "Netscape"? Nope. Netscape not found. Hmmmm... pkg-info shows linux-netscape-6.2_1 Linux Netscape Suite. Well then my next thought was to remove nestscape. Now I get three errors, Couldn't open dependency file /var/db/pkg/imake-4.1.0/+REQUIRED_BY and /var/db/pkg/freetype2-2.0.4/+REQUIRED_BY and /var/db/pkg/XFree86-libraries-4.1.0/+REQUIRED_BY All right then, if you're gonna be that way about it, I'll re-install, maybe that will add what it wants to delete and then I can clean it all up and try over. Install seems to go ok, but then it still won't start and I still can't remove. What am I doing wrong here? I can't run it because the system thinks its not installed (even after a FORCE_REGISTER) and I can't remove it either. Grrrrr. Any help will be appreciated.
