Description Anthony Staines 2008-12-16 10:20:24 UTC
www-client/mozilla-firefox:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.18', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('installed', '/', 'gnome-extra/yelp-2.22.1-r2', 'nomerge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.4-r2', 'merge') (no parents)

yelp depends on net-libs/xulrunner:1.9, which may be the problem.

See bug 234646

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Desire Firefox 3
Add #Firefox 3
www-client/mozilla-firefox
net-libs/xulrunner
dev-libs/nspr
dev-libs/nss
dev-db/sqlite

to /etc/package.keywords
2.emerge -uavDnN world



Actual Results:  
chadwick Catherine Woods # emerge -uavDnN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

www-client/mozilla-firefox:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.18', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('installed', '/', 'gnome-extra/yelp-2.22.1-r2', 'nomerge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.4-r2', 'merge') (no parents)


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.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.


Expected Results:  
Installed firefox 3.04 rc2

this ties into the discussion about making FF3 stable Bug 234646 and discussions thereon

Unmasking gnome-extra/yelp-2.24.0-r10 should fix your problem (or unmasking ~arch ebuilds generally).
