Description Maxi Combina 2007-05-30 23:53:58 UTC

Using the "gnome" flag, if I "emerge -va quodlibet" it tries to install mozilla-firefox:
--------------------------------------
atenea ~ #  emerge -va quodlibet

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] n
--------------------------------------

I already have mozilla-firefox-bin installed (because I have an amd64 and need flash support), and do *not* want to install the mozilla-firefox atom!



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit /etc/package/package.keywords to unmask the necessary atoms.
2. As root type `USE="gnome" emerge -va quodlibet'
3.




I found a "workaround": modifying the ebuild in a dirty way. Notice that this implies modifying the Manifest file as well.

media-sound/quodlibet doesn't depend on firefox at all, read the ebuild.

<snip>
[ebuild  N    ] dev-python/gnome-python-extras-2.14.0-r1  USE="X doc firefox
-debug -seamonkey" 340 kB
</snip>

You *cannot* compile anything against -bin, it's lacking the needed headers and loads of other stuff.
