Some examples (during arch testing I'm frequently emerging and unmerging those packages; it seems that not all files are removed on unmerge; see also similar bug #384325): * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/lib/icecat/plugins # ls -l /usr/lib/icecat/plugins lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 3 23:53 /usr/lib/icecat/plugins -> ../nsbrowser/plugins * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/bin/thunderbird # ls -l /usr/bin/thunderbird lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Nov 15 17:44 /usr/bin/thunderbird -> thunderbird-bin And indeed I do have thunderbird-bin installed. Should there be a blocker or something? * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins # ls -l /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 3 23:14 /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins -> ../nsbrowser/plugins In all of the above cases no other installed package claims the file. Severity "blocker" assigned because it severely impairs my ability to do arch testing, stabilizations, and security stabilizations. You should be able to reproduce by emerging, unmerging, and emerging again icecat and/or seamonkey, or emerging thunderbird-bin and thunderbird (in that order).

Should there be a blocker or > something? This has disappeared after I unmerged thunderbird-bin, "rm -rf /usr/bin/thunderbird" and emerged thunderbird-bin again. After that I was able to successfully emerge thunderbird. I think other issues are still there (please note I'm using stable x86 system).

Actually, the eclass itself seems a bit odd and outdated to me.

I normally don't have Mozilla packages installed, and only install them for arch testing. That's probably different from Mozilla devs or people who have those installed all the time. * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/bin/thunderbird * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/bin/seamonkey * /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/bin/firefox * /usr/lib/firefox/plugins Thu Jan 12 08:55:38 2012 >>> mail-client/thunderbird-bin-9.0.1 Thu Jan 12 08:56:00 2012 >>> www-client/seamonkey-bin-2.6.1 Thu Jan 12 08:56:35 2012 >>> www-client/firefox-bin-9.0.1 Thu Jan 12 09:02:00 2012 >>> dev-libs/nss-3.13.1-r1 Thu Jan 12 09:03:26 2012 >>> media-libs/libvpx-0.9.6 Thu Jan 12 10:57:10 2012 >>> mail-client/thunderbird-9.0 Thu Jan 12 12:19:17 2012 >>> www-client/seamonkey-2.6.1 Thu Jan 12 13:29:05 2012 >>> www-client/firefox-9.0

I'll > investigate. Okay, so it *was* related to build order. We were calling update_mozilla_launcher_symlinks() in pkg_postrm(), which meant that it would create the symlink ONLY if /usr/bin/firefox didn't exist. So you had to `emerge -C firefox firefox-bin && emerge firefox-bin && emerge firefox` to reproduce this. Utterly idiotic. Probably my mistake. I've fixed this now. I don't see the same code in thunderbid/seamonkey, so I don't think it should happen there. If it does, please double-check and open this. Thanks for reporting this! :)
