I recently installed openoffice.org-3.1.0_2 on my system. For some reason it brought in firefox-2 also. I all ready had Firefox-3.5 installed. I do not want or need two different installations of Firefox on my system. Firefox-2 appears to be required by these programs. /var/db/pkg $ pkg_info -R firefox-2.0.0.20_9,1 Information for firefox-2.0.0.20_9,1: Required by: gegl-0.0.22_6 gimp-2.6.6,2 gimp-app-2.6.6_3,1 gimp-gutenprint-5.1.7_2 gimp-help-2.4.2_1 librsvg2-2.26.0_1 I am not sure why these programs require Firefox-2 since Firefox-3.5 was installed prior to their installation. Is there any way I can safely remove Firefox-2 and force the use of Firefox-3.5 instead without breaking anything? -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com Harp not on that string. William Shakespeare, "Henry VI"
