emerge -uavDN world spits following when I try to upgrade world which includes both firefox and vlc !!!

Multiple versions within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: www-client/mozilla-firefox:0 ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.15', 'merge') pulled in by mozilla-firefox ('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/vlc-0.9.0_beta1', 'merge') ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0-r1', 'merge') pulled in by mozilla-firefox It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. Expected Results: vlc ebuild should pull firefox 3 instead of firefox 2.0.0.15 and build nsplugin for firefox 3 just a small change in ebuild should fix this for those who want to upgrade USE="-nsplugin" for vlc (add to /etc/portage/package.use) ~S
OK, this is invalid. For the plugin on firefox 3, both nsplugin and xulrunner flags should be set.
kindly explain what do you mean by "OK, this is invalid" there is no "nsplugin" flag for firefox yes, there is "xulrunner" and it is on if you look carefully at the emerge -av vlc firefox output you will realise the problematic flag settings and the problem lies in vlc, IMHO vlc should simply ask for firefox3 and link the vlc plugin to firefox 3 and thats what I have been asking an updated ebuild for vlc, which will pull firefox 3 and not firefox 2 ~S
Those are the flags for vlc and both have to be set for vlc to depend on xulrunner (and as it depends on >=net-libs/xulrunner-1.8, that means it will use latest (1.9), so it will depend on firefox 3). So, as I already said, invalid.
ohhh you are right ma bad then how do I close this ohhk got it,.. making this bug invalid thanks Rafał Mużyło ~S
