Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge firefox-bin-3.0 without gconf installed 2. 3.
I'm not sure, but i think thats not going to work...mozilla-firefox-bin is a 32bits binary, so it can't use 64bits libs...
what are we supposed to do here ?
Just confirm that i'm right or wrong :P

Can't fix
This would need to be in on of the emul-linux-x86 packages.
Well as of now the "Gnome Configuration System" is in none of the emul packages.. Shouldn't app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs take it in?
You'll have to talk to amd64 about that; they own the emul-linux-x86-* packages. Presumably nothing binary so far has needed gconf.
