This is related to bug 228491. Generally for Firefox 3.0 (-bin package)
Breakpad, its crash reporting tool, requires additional libraries listed below
to work on 64-bit systems.
$ ldd crashreporter | grep 'not found'
libgconf-2.so.4 => not found
libORBit-2.so.0 => not found
Please add them to some -emul package and make mozilla-firefox-bin depend on
them.
Also on x86 it requires orbit and gconf (of course no emulation is then
needed).
Uh, adding gnome deps? No thanks...in any case i'll add an use-flag, but
nothing else.
Note that these are only two packages on my system not running gnome. Either
way, there should be some notification that breakpad requires these.
Hah, i doubt having 32bits gnome libs for amd64 is going to happen, but lets
ask the relevant teams.
I'll add the warning meanwhile for x86, we can't do nothing for amd64, at least
i can't.
I guess I speak for the rest of the team when I say we don't have the time to
set up new emul packages when we barely maintain the existing one. We need more
man power.
I've added a message to the ebuild, however, for amd64 it would need gnome libs
and curl 32bits, which isn't going to happen as you've seen.
Blame upstream for changing the crashreporter :)
The GNOME team has never had anything to do with the emul libs beyond advisory
role when necessary, so this is really up to the amd64 team to consider.
