When updating firefox to the latest version (from ports) it complained
about hg not being found. Apparently a dependency to mercurial is
missing. I haven't checked why, installing it resolved it.
Can you please show us exact error message for further investigation?
Hi, I don't have a rational for this. I can explain what I did.
Portaudit said there's a vulnerability in Firefox 5, so I did a make in
/usr/ports/www/firefox (from within gnome). And it stopped somewhere at
'hg not found' or similiar, so I blindly installed mercurial and hit
make again; and make install, and all went fine after doing that.
Afterwards I though this was a bit strange and decided to send a mail to
ports@. Don't know what really happened though, hence the '*seems*' .
This evening I removed /usr/ports/ completely and mecurial. Did a
portsnap and tried to make firefox, resulting in similar errors: like hg
not found, repeated twice, followed by a sed error about a missing file.
I lost the raw output though since switching between gnome and console
does not recover gnome properly while I had the output there...
So currently I have not something useful to add, building again from
console, but don't dare to switch, at the moment.
Regards,
Jeroen
