Description Martin Ereth 2008-06-22 12:07:18 UTC

dev-python/gnome-python-extras forces a downgrade of www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.* to www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.*

(By masking firefox, I found out, that gnome-python-extras needs firefox-2.*)
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*" have been masked.
(dependency required by "dev-python/gnome-python-extras-2.19.1-r1" [installed])

So everytime I want to update world emerge wants to downgrade firefox.


Maybe allowing firefox-3.* in gnome-python-extras would be a solution.

Set xulrunner -firefox in your make.conf USE flags, then remerge gnome-python-extras. That should fix it. If not, reopen.
