if Acroread 5 plugin is installed, then it's symbolic link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins will not be substituted with the new symbolic link of Acroread 7 plugin. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge acroread 5 with mozilla plugin 2.emerge acroread 7 with mozilla plugin 3.try to use the plugin
So this is more a portage bug of not replacing symlinks? Why do you have /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins? Its /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins for me. Do you maybe have an old nsplugins.eclass? I fixed a bug there to get acroread working .. Can you please post your emerge info?

Sorry, I really cannot reproduce this problem :( The portage devs sayd they think its an ebuild problem but that problem was fixed long ago >1 month How long is your last sync ago? Can you please try emergeing again to see if a downgrade/upgrade works?
It does not work on my system properly, too. I see blank pages instead of documents in all Gecko Browsers. ________________________________________________________________ Versions of the mentioned programs [ebuild R ] app-text/acroread-7.0.0.2-r1 -cjk -ldap -noplugin 0 kB [ebuild R ] www-client/mozilla-1.7.8 +crypt -debug +gnome +java -ldap -mozdevelop +moznomail -moznoxft +mozsvg -mozxmlterm -postgres +ssl -xinerama -xprint 0 kB [ebuild R ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.4 -debug +gnome +java -ldap -mozdevelop -moznoxft +mozsvg -mozxmlterm -xinerama -xprint 0 kB [ebuild R ] www-client/epiphany-1.4.8 -debug -doc 0 kB _______________________________________________________________ System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r8 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Apr 29 2005, 14:27:06)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -msse2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -msse2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo http://gentoo.mirror.icd.hu/ ftp://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/" LANG="lt_LT.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/bmg-main" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aalib alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups curl dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode evo fam flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gimpprint glitz gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal imagemagick imlib ipv6 irmc java jpeg kerberos libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mng mono motif mozilla moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mozsvg mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline samba sdl slang spell sse ssl svg svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis wxgtk1 xine xml xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS

ok, whats the problem then if its not the symlink?
Vytautas Liuolia, I think your issue is a different one and it was taken care of in the duplicate bug. And for Lorenzo, I guess the symlink-fix worked as you seem to have vanished .. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 87679 ***
I'm a bit puzzled :) I'm not sure, what was upgraded via automatic emerge world's etc, but now it works fine. As for me, there are no bugs what concerns acroread.
