Hello,

        Upgrading Firefox-x11 resulted in the following error:

In file included from nsNSSCleaner.h:127,

That should be with the nss port, do you have that installed and at version 3.12? The current firefox-x11 (3.0.8_2) lists it as a dependency, so it
should have been installed...

Hello,
Being dependent on nss-3,12 explains why it is not installing because nss-3.12 fails to install (ticket 18930) leaving me with nss-3.11.9_0. Shouldn't a failure to install nss-3.12 cause the Firefox-x11 to abort during configuration rather than build? This leads into another issue, namely that of repeated attempts on failed installations. The repeated attempts are from each instance of detecting a dependency at a new module. As a result, a lot of time is wasted in repeating failed installation attempts. Can't there be some sort of unsuccessful history link list be made available for upgrade installed so that repeated attempts are not made?
