Description Tom Samstag 2015-12-20 21:10:20 UTC
Emerging mail-client/thunderbird-38.4.0 fails if the version of dev-libs/nspr is less than 4.10.10 but the CDEPEND says >=dev-libs/nspr-4.10.8.

configure:14521: checking NSPR selection
configure:14621: checking for nspr-config
configure:14656: checking for NSPR - version >= 4.10.10
configure: error: you do not have NSPR installed or your version is older than 4.10.10.
*** Fix above errors and then restart with\
               "make -f client.mk build"
/var/tmp/portage/mail-client/thunderbird-38.4.0/work/comm-esr38/client.mk:361: recipe for target 'configure' failed
make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge dev-libs/nspr-4.10.8
2. Emerge mail-client/thunderbird-38.4.0

    mail-client/thunderbird: increase minver on nspr dep to fix bug 568910
    
    Package-Manager: portage-2.2.24


... I didn't revbump because in a couple of days thunderbird-38.5.0 will be released; not much point in forcing everyone to have a VDB update when they'll just be upgrading again.
