+ AFFECTS: x11/libexo, XFCE4 desktop users
+ AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
+
+ XFCE4 has been updated to version 4.16. Unluckily due to how the
+ update works out it interacts badly with a defect in pkg which can
+ cause files from the libexo package to be absent after upgrade.
+
+ To avoid the issue, before upgrading all packages, please update
+ libexo by itself:
+
+ # pkg upgrade libexo
+ # pkg upgrade
+
+ If you have already upgraded and you notice XFCE issues due to
+ missing libraries you can recover easily by forcing reinstallation
+ of libexo:
+
+ # pkg upgrade -f libexo
+
+ Users upgrading via ports should not be affected.
