I experienced the same phenomena. Simple do a pkg_deinstall on the
"p5-Switch" port and build the "webkit-gtk2" port" again. It works fine
then. Obviously, it is a pain in the ass, and I question why the
maintainer did not catch this problem before he submitted the port, but
that is not going to help you now.
