[OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox/thunderbird mediators and upgrade

[Bob Friesenhahn]

I have not updated OpenIndian for some time (/etc/release says 
2020.10).  Using 'pkg update -rnv' I see reasonable output except for 
this output (simplified) which causes concern:

Changed mediators:
   mediator firefox:
            version: 60 (system default) -> None

   mediator thunderbird:
            version: 52 (system default) -> None

I am worried that the above means that after an upgrade, there will be 
no firefox or thunderbird available.  Presumably I could then manually 
install them.

My assumption regarding the meaning of 'Changed mediators' may be 
totally incorrect.

Using 'pkg mediator' I see this relevant output:

MEDIATOR            VER. SRC. VERSION IMPL. SRC. IMPLEMENTATION
firefox             system    60      system
thunderbird         system    52      system

Will everything just be ok or is there a way to influence the 
mediators in advance such that firefox and thunderbird will be 
installed with the latest version?
