Description Daniel Cater 2009-08-20 12:44:28 UTC
"!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

net-libs/xulrunner:1.9

  ('ebuild', '/', 'net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1.2-r1', 'merge') pulled in by
    >=net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1.2[java] required by ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5.2-r1', 'merge')
    (and 2 more)

  ('installed', '/', 'net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.0.11-r1', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    =net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.0* required by ('installed', '/', 'www-client/epiphany-2.24.3-r10', 'nomerge')
    (and 2 more)


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."

Reproducible: Always




Just synced and tried to update. Epiphany (2.24.3-r10) requires a 1.9.0* xulrunner but the new Firefox (3.5.2-r1) requires 1.9.2 or later. As these are both in the same slot (1.9) it doesn't work. I'm running everything stable x86.

Comment 1 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-20 13:00:29 UTC
There's not much we can do here. Either downgrade www-client/mozilla-firefox to some 3.0.x version or upgrade www-client/epiphany to some 2.26.x version.

Thanks for replying. The problem is that this breaks updating world for every Gentoo user who uses stable packages and has Gnome and Firefox installed. I would estimate that this is a large number of people.

Will Epiphany 2.24 not work with Xulrunner 1.9.1? If not, then why are Xulrunner 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 in the same slot? Shouldn't the slots be 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.9.0, 1.9.1, 1.9.2 etc.?

I think that a solution other than breaking updating for most users should be found. Some possibilities, let me know which of them aren't possible:

1. Keep Firefox 3.5 unstable until Epiphany 2.26 goes stable
2. Change Epiphany 2.24 to not require Xulrunner 1.9.0
3. Change the slots from x.y to x.y.z
Comment 3 Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2009-08-20 14:07:24 UTC
same problem with vlc - see bug #282089
Comment 4 Daniel Cater 2009-08-20 16:30:15 UTC
Bug 265700 comment 16 predicted this:

"firefox 3.5.2 is not stable yet, if you keyworded firefox, you need to keyword
epiphany as well.

@herd, however, firefox-3.5.2 is going to be stabilized soon (security bugs
etc), maybe we should stabilize epiphany independent of the rest of gnome to
match?"
