Also, I think portupgrade has an option where it will list all of the applications that will be affected by an upgrade without actually doing the upgrade (see 'man portupgrade'). Try this: 1. Get a list of applications that would be affected by portupgrading firefox and its dependencies (list A). 2. Then get a list of applications that would be affected by portupgrading gnucash and its dependencies (list B). 3. Your problem may be in a dependency that is on both list A and list B. Good luck, Andrew
