I posted a message on this same issue with gnash and mentioned also yelp.

In the case of gnash, libxul19 is supposed to install a file
/usr/local/lib/libxul/xpidl
but libxul-10.0.9 doesn't.

Maybe the yelp port wants/needs this file too?

That was only a few days ago, maybe libxul was updated to 10.0.10 just a day
or two ago?

libxul19 wouldn't install, both because of conflict with libxul and because
libxul19 was marked vulnerable.

So I appear stuck until they fix this bug.  File a bug report?
