I had mozilla-firefox installed but the mozplugger still asked for mozilla installation. The Mozplugger Website claimed their support to Firefox. I emerged mozplugger-1.5.2 with --nodeps and mozplugger works fine. The DEPEND area of the ebuild mozplugger-1.5.2.ebuild DEPEND="virtual/glibc" # TODO what about Opera or Galeon? RDEPEND="${DEPEND} !virtual/plugger net-www/mozilla*" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -p mozplugger if you had mozilla-firefox but not mozilla installed. Actual Results: # qpkg -i -I mozilla net-www/mozilla-launcher-1.2 * Script that launches mozilla or firefox [ ] net-www/mozilla-firefox-0.8-r2 * The Mozilla Firefox Web Browser [ http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/ ] # emerge -p mozplugger These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Note by Hydonsingore Sie via Email: I had tried this solution according to the ebuild man page: Modify the DEPEND section of the ebuild file to recognize mozilla or firefox installed. Original: DEPEND="virtual/glibc" # TODO what about Opera or Galeon? RDEPEND="${DEPEND} !virtual/plugger net-www/mozilla*" Modified: DEPEND="virtual/glibc" # TODO what about Opera or Galeon? RDEPEND="${DEPEND} !virtual/plugger || ( net-www/mozilla* net-www/mozilla-firefox* )" It works on my Gentoo with firefox but not mozilla.
net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin* should be included.
Thanks, all set now
