I see this when I run this command:
$ pkg_info -R firefox-2.0.0.20_7,1
Information for firefox-2.0.0.20_7,1:
Required by:
ImageMagick-6.5.1.1
gegl-0.0.22_1
gimp-2.6.5,2
gimp-app-2.6.5_1,1
gimp-gutenprint-5.1.7_1
gnucash-2.2.7_2
gnucash-docs-2.2.0_3
inkscape-0.46_5
librsvg2-2.26.0
swt-3.4
yelp-2.26.0
There is something in the install process that causes these dependencies
to be created.
I have ports updated with portupgrade.
And I have FF-3 installed as well.
