After updating last night, trying to start thunderbird returns: /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: can't find the browser :-( When I re-emerge mozilla-thunderbird-bin, I notice it is install into /opt/firefox. After emerge of mozilla-thunderbird-bin is complete there is a thunderbird executable in /opt/firefox but no firefox executable. I re-emerge mozilla-firefox-bin and I see that it starts by deleting everything in /opt/firefox including the thunderbird executable, then installs firefox. *** Wouldn't it be better if mozilla-firefox-bin lived in /opt/firefox and mozilla-thunderbird-bin lived in /opt/thunderbird??? *** My versions of mozilla-thunderbird-bin, mozilla-firefox-bin: # emerge -pv mozilla-thunderbird-bin mozilla-firefox-bin These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.0.6-r1 0 kB [ebuild R ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.6-r1 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB I see there is an -r2 for both mozilla-thunderbird-bin and mozilla-firefox-bin, but the changelog doesn't seem to address this issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mozilla-firefox-bin mozilla-thunderbird-bin 2. firefox executable in /opt/firefox is gone because thunderbird was emerged last 3. emerge mozilla-firefox-bin 4. /opt/firefox is deleted along with the thunderbird executable and mozilla-firefox-bin is installed. 5. emerge mozilla-thunderbird-bin 6. /opt/firefox is deleted along with the firefox executable and mozilla-thunderbird-bin is installed. 7. Wash. Rinse. Repeat Actual Results: /opt/firefox is completely deleted along with executable from other package Expected Results: 1. Install mozilla-firefox-bin into /opt/firefox 2. Install mozilla-thunderbird-bin into /opt/thunderbird 3.

I think this is the same as bug 100048 As you point out, they're overwriting each other, there's a typo on the mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.6-r1 ebuild wich makes it install on /opt/firefox instead of /opt/thunderbird edit the ebuild and change (it appears twice) declare MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/opt/firefox to declare MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/opt/thunderbird unemerge, re emerge and everything works =) Please check 100048 for the actual files Hope this helps, (also hope i'm not wrong =)
fixed in tree
blah
Does this mean it is fixed if I emerge sync then emerge -u world or I have to manually edit the ebuild?
means it been added to the server they have to sync before you get a copy of the new ebuild. You can try emerge sync and see if it is avaliable yet might be and might not be as of yet can take anywhere from ~45 mins to ~1.5hrs on average.
