It didn't. I have only ALIAS statement uncommented in pkg.conf.

Python 2.7 I have installed from ports:

> pkg info -A python27
python27-2.7.15:
	FreeBSD_version: 1101001
	cpe            : cpe:2.3:a:python:python:2.7.15:::::freebsd11:x64

Firefox installed via pkg:

> pkg info -A firefox-esr
firefox-esr-60.2.2_1,1:
	FreeBSD_version: 1102000
	cpe            : cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox_esr:60.2.2:::::freebsd11:x64:1
	no_provide_shlib: yes
	repo_type      : binary
	repository     : FreeBSD

It is frustrating that some small hack breaks stuff like this, something like this has not happened
to me for a long time.

I have solved this by installing libdl from HEAD SVN, trying to install firefox via ports
was too painful:

svn co https://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libdl
cd libdl
make
make install

(worked with 11.1 sources from https://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/11.1 in /usr/src).
