Hi ports@
I had a funny interaction today.
While testing an update to www/uget I hit a conflict with my locally
installed gcc & some other libs.
Wanting to move forward with testing I decided to `pkg_delete -a` to
remove them all as they were installed
as dependencies for ports that I no longer have.
This for some reason resulted in gdm being removed from my system. I was
at -current snapshot from 20th May.
Having gdm done is not nice when using Gnome so I got it reinstalled but
it refused to boot back up.
I saw libmozjs-24.so.0.0 in my error logs and assumed that I'm out of
date with my base system/other packages.
I proceeded to upgraded to the May 23rd snapshot and performed the usual
package upgrade.
After performing the above I still can't boot into gnome. So I disabled
gdm, made the following .xinitrc file:
$ cat .xinitrc
exec gnome-shell
and did a 'startx'
gnome-shell: can't load library 'libmozjs-24.so.0.0'
xinit: connection to X server lost
waiting for X server to shut down .(EE) Server terminated successfully
(0). Closing log file.
Now I can't seem to locate a mozjs 24.
# pkg_info -Q mozjs
mozjs17-17.0p1 (installed)
The /usr/ports/devel only has movjs17.
I installed xfce4 to get a working window manager for now (works without
issues).
Questions:
1. Why would pkg_delete -a remove gdm
GDM was installed manually as pkg_add gdm so shouldn't be treated as
unused dependency
2. Is something wrong with my system? How do I get mozjs 24?
