The latest SoftwareUpdater update, caused WebPositive to be uninstalled and I am not able to re-install it.
Anyone else having this issue?…thanks!

Yeah, I had a library dependency failure that required letting it remove web+ to proceed on today’s update too.
Did you find a way to reverse it?
For me, I was able to rollback to yesterdays TM backup of my Haiku VM and then when running SoftwareUpdater, pick option 2…Next time you run the SoftwareUpdater, you will see the same conflict…pick 2 and move on…I am guessing until it’s fixed, that conflict will keep popping up…

I’ve also had a few kernel panics from the network stack today too, the most recent one rebooted to a desktop without my background pic and claimed that it couldn’t find any translators.
I rebooted onto yesterday’s state. (hrev59304).
Now I have to go figure out how to drop the later stored states?
tell pkgman explicitly to install the packages from the old state, that doesn’t quite do the same thing but should acomplish the goal

Looks like this is my bad, sorry for that. rav1e got updated and seems to be causing some version conflicts, checking build/install/runtime and push the “fix” today.

Yeah, I didn’t realize that the Web+ package dependencies that I’d let it remove were in HaikuDepot until I’d already messed up my Haiku packages.
That was a mess; I ended up reinstalling an older hrev and re-updatng.
If I’d realized what was actually going on I’d have just waited rather than letting the update run.
Learned a lot, at least. 
Rebuild is still running for the older rav1e (rust …), will install this localy, maybe this could also be the reason my WebPositive is leaking atm. Will report back here.
rav1e has been build on 64bit buildmaster, the updates should be good to go now, will check up on the newer version and libavif references in regards to haikuwebkit before enabling it again, sorry for the troubles.

Maybe we can change some things to load such libraries on demand, and not make them a reason why the webrowser disapears
Guess you should figure out how libavif is involved for that? Anyway, the change doesn’t fix current issue for me with Webpositive.
EDIT: or rather with the update on haikuwebkit.
It’s only needed when loading somr images
Created an issue at haikuports for the current behavior (here R1B5 64bit), CPU usage, ghost thread even with Webpositive closed, at least one website I wanted to look at this morning where WebPositive crashes.
I don’t have the previous package for haikuwebkit anymore (cleaned states) so I can’t compare if that still happens with that package.
Unless you are running out of disk space that seems a wierd thing to do to me 
I never delete old states
I guess you’re not running with +2.4K packages installed too 
Asdie from that, did a full-sync yesterday morning, cleaning all Qt/KDE stuff and hence cleaning about 1K of packages, after and and a few reboots cleaned all the states after I was sure booting was fine.
Tbh I delete them all the time, it’s probably old habits from when storage space wasn’t as plentiful/cheap, but I can’t help but remove “unneeded” files every chance I get.
To put things into perspective, my first PC had a ~230MB HDD. (or less than 20 Doom installs, if we want to count storage like that)
I bet you got into computing way past that era.

You’re a youngster. My first machine used floppy disks that really were floppy.

My first pc was windows ME, and then 98, so maaaybe? But I didn’t check the HDD size then
Anyhow, with modern disks it seems way better to me to delete stuff when you need storage and not before, especially when it serves a purpose :3
(and also not create files that are unneeded in the first place)
Grabbed the previous haikuwebkit from another laptop, WebPositive isn’t crashing on the linked url on the issue now.
