Probably got my packages messed up at some point, and should just stop 
doing endless "upgrades", and start clean with 6.7, but for learning 
purposes and perspective, would appreciate tips on why doing a pkg_add of 
firefox under 6.6 would fail, while looking for a version of atk that that 
is not in the packages for 6.6?


farm# pkg_add firefox
quirks-3.187 signed on 2020-05-19T14:41:48Z
Can't install firefox-72.0.2 because of libraries
|library atk-1.0.21809.3 not found
...

But looking at:

https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.6/packages/amd64/

I only see: atk-2.... and no atk-1....

--------------------------- </clip> -----------------------

I realize that there are dependencies of dependencies going on here. but 
for perspective, why wouldn't atk-1... exist in the same package 
repository as the 6.6 version of firefox does, if that version (or 
probably it's other dependencies) requires it.  Wouldn't package testing 
have failed for firefox when it was tested for 6.6?  And if not, why not?

Thanks in advance, for any comment.
