Comment 4 Andrew John Hughes 2010-04-06 18:30:47 UTC

Currently Firefox and IceCat conflict presumably due to the lack of a bump for IceCat:

net-libs/xulrunner:1.9

  ('ebuild', '/', 'net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.2-r5', 'merge') pulled in by
    ~net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.2[wifi,java,libnotify,-system-sqlite] required by ('installed', '/', 'www-client/icecat-3.6-r1', 'nomerge')
    (and 5 more)

  ('ebuild', '/', 'net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.2.3', 'merge') pulled in by
    ~net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.2.3[wifi,java,libnotify,-system-sqlite] required by ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.6.3', 'merge')
    (and 5 more)
