Description Amit Prakash Ambasta 2011-07-07 22:03:13 UTC 
Currently, acroread pulls in xulrunner which is redundant if the user already has firefox-5 installed since with firefox 5, xulrunner and firefox are no longer compiled/installed separately. Hence acroread should either depend on firefox-5 or xulrunner using whichever xulrunner is installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge firefox-5
2.emerge acroread
3.equery depends xulrunner
Actual Results:  
equery depends xulrunner shows acroread pulling in a dependecy which means acroread isn't using the xulrunner already installed with firefox-5

Expected Results:  
equery depends xulrunner shouldn't show acroread pulling xulrunner when ff5 is already installed

i dont think the xulrunner with firefox-5 is generally usable outside of firefox
Comment 2 Gef 2011-07-20 11:18:26 UTC 
Actually it is usable at least within vlc (for its nsplugin): see bug #374271
Comment 3 Gef 2011-10-08 12:52:02 UTC 
This is quite likely a dupe of bug #380485 now.
Comment 4 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2012-02-01 21:23:26 UTC 
According to the ebuild this is fixed by now.
