Re: Two firefoxes, 1.5 and 2.0, script keeps running 1.5 instead of 2.0

Thanks for this... However, I can't get the first command to work:

bsd# pkg_delete -dfv firefox*
pkg_delete: No match.

This sounds like the files are present, but the port is not
registered in /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db.
If this is the case, to get everything pristine you'll need to:

a) install firefox-1.5, i.e.:
cd /usr/ports/firefox15 && make install
b) remove firefox-1.5:
make deinstall
c) remove firefox-2.0:
cd /usr/ports/firefox15 && make deinstall
d) install firefox-2.0:
make install

Afterwards I'd also do "pkgdb -F" just to make sure all the
dependencies are hooked up.
