Description Vitaly Kushneriuk 2002-01-14 04:12:24 UTC

virtual/x11-web-browser is missing in all profiles except build.
Also, currently, only mozilla and netscape provide this virtual.
I think opera, galeon, kde-base?, lynx etc. should provide it too

right now, we can sort of ignore this because we don't have any package that
needs a generic x11-web-browser.  And even if we did, we don't have a clear way
for that package to find out which particular browser is installed.  Or am I wrong?

no there is no way to tell, as far as I know.

to me this seems like a less-used virtual, but that is imo

This virtual has been removed from all the profiles, and none of the web
browsers provide it, because no-one else actually needs it.

Thanks for catching that.
