Description Peter Hyman 2005-02-01 03:44:07 UTC

I emerged this package and later emerged galeon. galeon immediately tried to download mozilla's source package. Seems that galeon requires mozilla with gtk-2 library support.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mozilla-bin
2. emerge -p galeon
3. emerge -O galeon

Actual Results:  
Galeon complains that mozilla does NOT have gtk-2 support.

Expected Results:  
I think mozilla-bin should have gtk-2 support and it should be a required
dependancy.

I'm marking this as an enhancement since there could be a reason the developers
choose to compile in gtk-1 support only. Thx

We're using upstream binaries for the mozilla-*-bin packages; unfortunately mozilla.org have chosen to use GTK+1 for mozilla itself. The only option is to compile mozilla from source with GTK+2 support.
