# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p gaim

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:


Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] net-www/mozilla-1.5-r1
[ebuild     U ] net-im/gaim-0.75-r1 [0.72-r1]

What is happening here? I need to spend an hour or more building a browser I haven't used in a year and a half of 100% Linux use in order to build an Instant Messanger Client that will build in five or ten minutes? Talk about bloatware!!!

I see nothing on the gaim home page about requiring mozilla. As a mozilla-firebird user, did I *really* need to buid moz or is there a need for some more virtuals????

A bit more info:
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -v -p gaim

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] net-www/mozilla-1.5-r1  +java +crypt -ipv6 +gtk2 +ssl -ldap +gnome -debug -mozcalendar -mozxmlterm -moznoirc -moznomail -moznocompose -moznoxft
[ebuild     U ] net-im/gaim-0.75-r1 [0.72-r1] +nls +perl +spell -nas +mozilla -cjk -debug +ssl


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove mozilla from your system with "emerge unmerge mozilla" (this is a guess)
2. perform "emerge -v -p gaim"
3. Suck teeth slowly and say "Well, I'll be darned" or similar in local tongue. "Why in tarnation does it want to build mo-zilla for?" (Don't forget the accent; think dukes of hazzard if you're old enough.)
4. resolve to post a bug after searching
5. there is no step 5
Actual Results:  
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] net-www/mozilla-1.5-r1
[ebuild     U ] net-im/gaim-0.75-r1 [0.72-r1]


Expected Results:

I cut my finger last week.
