Description Stephan Verbücheln 2005-12-05 03:32:36 UTC

If you have xfce4 components (for example the panel) and Mozilla Firefox 1.5
installed at the same time, you get problems. Mozilla Firefox needs GTK+-2.8.x.
The xfce4 panel is incompatible with gtk+ 2.8, so the ebuild wants to get gtk+ 2.6.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =mozilla-firefox-1.5
2. emerge xfce4-panel
3. emerge -uDNt world

Actual Results:  
emerge wanted to merge gtk+ 2.8 and downgrade to version 2.6 at the same time.

Expected Results:  
It should only upgrade to gtk 2.8.

Mozilla 1.5 isn't marked stable so this is absolutely fine. There's no way to
assure every ebuild is compatible with the other.
