When trying to update firefox (using emerge -up), swt blocks firefox 3-0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -up --deep world 2. 3. Actual Results: [ebuild U ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0 [2.0.0.14] USE="dbus%* startup-notification%* xulrunner%*" LINGUAS="-en% -en_US% -id% -si% -sq% -sr%" !!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: www-client/mozilla-firefox:0 ('installed', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.14', 'nomerge') pulled in by ('installed', '/', 'dev-java/swt-3.3.1.1', 'nomerge') @world ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0', 'merge') pulled in by @world It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously.

This is not a bug. It simply doesn't work with FF 3.
Add the "xulrunner" USE flag to your make.conf, and re-emerge all packages using it (`emerge -avN world`). Then, it will emerge xulrunner-1.8.1.14, instead of mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.14, and you will be able to emerge mozilla-firefox-3.0. There should be a way to send a special error message to the user, for special cases like this.

Yup, this works for me :-) Indeed, it would be quite helpful to have a hint what exactly was going wrong (and how to fix it).

> Yup, this works for me :-) Indeed, it would be quite helpful to have a hint > what exactly was going wrong (and how to fix it). Another thing worthy of mentioning: If you have both firefox and xulrunner in /etc/make.conf, the bug will occur - with the same results. Solution: add dev-java/swt -firefox xulrunner to /etc/portage/package.use I've reopened this bug, because I consider it to be one: 1.) There should be a meaningful error message 2.) When firefox and xulrunner are present in /etc/make.conf, swt (among other packages) should simply bail out with an error message and let the user choose *which* one to build against.

( !xulrunner? ( =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* ) )», meaning the «xulrunner» USE flag has the priority. You should be able to let the «firefox» USE flag, activated, for swt. What's the specific error message? exactly the same? Are you sure you re-emerged every packages using the «xulrunner» USE flag, using `emerge -avN world`? Some other packages require mozilla-firefox-2* or xulrunner-1.8*, and need to be re-emerged, after you added the «xulrunner» USE flag to your make.conf (and after you checked you did not leave «-xulrunner» entries, in your package.use files).

After emerging --sync and emerge -up --deep world, the same error occurred (swt 3.3.*). So I had to add the flag -firefox to swt in package.use, unmerge swt 3.3.*, reinstall swt 3.4pre. After that, emerge -u --deep world reinstalled swt 3.3.* (slotted) plus xulrunner (slotted) without an error. Very strange things happening, IMHO - since yesterday I did reinstall 3.3.* during emerge -nV world. Odd...
There is no need to force "xulrunner-1.8.1.14" for swt - at least for the 3.4 series - as Eclipse SWT will be or is compatible with xulrunner-1.9.
