firefox-x11 does not install

[Frank J. R. Hanstick]

Hello,
	The problem thus far is not firefox-x11; but, the failure to install  
two of its dependencies, namely:  heimal and libcanberra.  Heimal  
already has a ticket (17857) to which I posted a possible patch I  
found on the internet.  I do not know enough about MacPorts to test  
the viability of the patch or to use the patch as a work around.   
Libcanberra fails because a dependency has not been installed,  
namely: libvorbis:

c-76-121-207-181:~ frank$ sudo port install libcanberra

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables VORBIS_CFLAGS
and VORBIS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

The work around to this problem was to:

	 sudo port install libvorbis

before:

	sudo port install libcanberra.

I did not find a ticket to upgrade the port about the dependency  
omission.  Is one needed to get this fixed?
