Description Tamran Lengyel 2006-07-20 23:02:05 UTC

I have had issues with being forced to install mozilla, ephiphany and seamonkey with certain packages (like gnome, eclipse and monodevelop).  I've managed to sort of hack out a solution.  Please see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-482255-highlight-.html for details.  I think this may be a bug that packages like monodevelop REQUIRE mozilla.  I did some symlinking and export commands to make it work with firefox.  Other packages force these other browsers too.  I just want firefox which is why I did this hack.

My apologies if I put this bug in the wrong spot.  I don't know where it should be.  I also apologize for not being more specific.

The packages I've run into issues with masking the browsers are:

dev-dotnet/gecko-sharp
gnome-main/gnome

I'm sure there are other packages too that have this problem (eclipse-sdk?)

Regards,

Tamran
