I had updated opera twice over the past year so I could install opera for 
Linux. I did it once with an RPM and later with a tarball. (Both were used 
on a Linux system using the package built on a different Linux/pkgsrc 
build system.)

I don't have chance to check this. But this is in my pkgsrc. (I have the 
diff and PLIST.Linux below.)

Can anyone clean this up? Or verify this?
