Description Tobias Wallura 2011-03-17 22:37:25 UTC
Thunderbird blocks the ebuild x11-plugins/lightning even if it does not include lightning itself, ie installed with lightning USE flag disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get any x11-plugins/lightning ebuild
2. USE="-lightning" emerge mail-client/thunderbird x11-plugins/lightning
Actual Results:  
emerge fails with 'Blocked Packages'

[blocks B     ] x11-plugins/lightning ("x11-plugins/lightning" is blocking mail-client/thunderbird-3.1.9)

Expected Results:  
x11-plugins/lightning should have been installed alongside thunderbird.

Afair, the current supported way is to use the bundled lightning.
Comment 3 Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2011-03-18 16:46:17 UTC
Lightning is part of thunderbird build now, it will not be released as a standalone any longer. This was the best decision for gentoo for long term support.
