\n- [emerge world] did not pull it in<\/li>\n
- [emerge mozilla-firefox] did – weird<\/li>\n
- another [emerge world] REVERTED to Firefox 2!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Apparently there’s some dependency that causes FF2 to reinstall over FF3. So… let’s block FF2 from reinstalling by adding this to package.mask:<\/p>\n
\r\n<=www-client\/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.16\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNow we can run [emerge world] to see the problem dependency:<\/p>\n
\r\n!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy \"=www-client\/mozilla-firefox-2*\" have been masked.\r\n!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:\r\n- www-client\/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.16 (masked by: package.mask)\r\n- www-client\/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.11 (masked by: package.mask)\r\n(dependency required by \"www-client\/epiphany-2.20.3\" [installed])\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nEpiphany is a browser based on FF2, ugg. You can't mask epiphany, it is a dependency of gnome. So... unmasked FF3 and gnome are incompatible, at the moment. For now, I guess I have to wait it out... after all, the official policy (as stated here<\/a>):<\/p>\nThe overall Gentoo policy is very clear on the topic. Mixing unstable and stable is _your_ problem, not ours. We are already trying our best to maintain a stable Gnome (2.20), an unstable one (2.22) and an experimental one (2.23\/24).<\/p>\n
If you mix and match stable and unstable, you're own your own.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Fair enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
