nss missing plc4 library

[pgijnxn02@…]

When I attempted to upgrade firefox-x11, nss failed. Here's the failing command line:

sudo port -v upgrade outdated

~ $ ls /opt/local/lib/nspr libnspr4.a libplc4.a libplds4.a libnspr4.dylib libplc4.dylib libplds4.dylib

Hmm, somehow port had gotten into a state where nspr was active, but the files were not present. Deactivating then upgrading nspr enabled me to build nss.

Thanks!
