Description Nikolaj Šujskij 2009-10-25 22:05:11 UTC

x11-themes/gtk-engines-qtcurve being built with +firefox3 should be satisfied with www-client/icecat, not only with www-client/mozilla-firefox*

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install www-client/icecat instead of www-client/mozilla-firefox & www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin
2. USE="firefox3" emerge -pv x11-themes/gtk-engines-qtcurve

Actual Results:  
www-client/mozilla-firefox is pulled as a dependency

Expected Results:  
www-client/mozilla-firefox shouldn't be pulled as a dependency

I'd suggest adding www-client/icecat to the list of alternative dependencies (see attached patch).

Another way is to provide virtual/firefox package and make ebuilds depend on it.

IF there will be a virtual, we could use that. But I don't feel like adding all the silly firefox clones to the dependency list. You could just put mozilla-firefox in your package.provided file instead.
