Comment (by pulkomandy):
What happens when you try to reinstall Web+? The command to use (for a
gcc2hybrid install) is:
{{{
pkgman install webpositive_x86
}}}
If any important packages were removed, they should be added again when
running this. What happens exactly when doing that? Can you copy the
output of this command here?
When doing an update, the old state of the system is saved. You can boot
your system to the older version by going to the early boot menu (press
space before the bootscreen is shown) and go to "select boot partition".
After selecting your haiku system partition, you will get a list of older
revisions which you can boot from. You can also look at
{{{
ls /system/packages/administrative/state-nnn
}}}
To see which packages were removed or upgraded during the last update
(replace nnn with the date of the upgrade your are interested in). Please
show us this package list for the relevant update(s) so we can understand
where the dependencies went bad.
Please also check if you have packages left in
{{{/system/packages/administrative/transaction-1/}}}. Sometimes the
packages stay locked there and won't be installed. Deleting all the
"transaction" folders can get you out of that state.
