I found that it was only fontconfig for me:

ldd /usr/lib/firefox-gtk2/firefox-bin | cut -d " " -f 3 | grep / |
xargs -n 1 objdump -x | egrep 'file format|NEEDED' | less

We have real no way to know that the BUILDLINK_DEPENDS should have been a
non-open-ended
  BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.expat?=expat-1.95.[456]*
before the March 2 change.

So maybe we should take advantage of the filenames as part of dependency.

In my case, the pkg_add of fontconfig could have checked for
"libexpat.so.5" and failed immediately. (We already have a routine to
gather this information for +BUILD_INFO, for example:
REQUIRES=/usr/pkg/lib/libexpat.so.4.)

What do you all think?

Or we could force perfect matches, for example:
  BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.expat?=expat-1.95.6nb1
before the change. (I don't agree with that though.)

Or maybe we could force perfect matches for those who build binary
packages? (On a related note, it appears that pkg_add is broken when
installing package dependencies where the @pkgdep package name is some
range, but the @blddep with a perfect match works fine if you have the
same filename available.)

I have now done that, but didn't bump the PKGREVISIONs for the packages
needing expat.
