[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild wants to downgrade packages!

[John covici]

Hi.  I just emerged the firefox 3.0 which required a new version also
of xulrunner.  Now if I run revdep-rebuild, it wants to downgrade both
of these packages.

A number of packages seem to depend on libnss3.so.11 libsmime3.so.11
libssl3.so.11 .  How can I resolve this conflict?

Thanks in advance for any ideas on this.

xulrunner is slotted, so you may need 1.8 and 1.9 installed. Packages
built with -xulrunner in USE generally depend on firefox2, so make sure
you have xulrunner in your global USE flags, and no -xulrunner entries
in /etc/portage/package.use.

I believe you want to run revdep-rebuild with the -X  option flag. Also 
make sure you're using the xulrunner use flag instead of the firefox use 
flag.

OK, that helped a lot, it still reports  some evolution packages are
broke, but it does not rebuild them -- I don't use evolution much
anyway, so maybe it will get fixed in the next update.

Thanks much.

I had this because of OpenOffice, which was emerged with "firefox" use flag. 
In this case it wants firefox 2. I replaced the firefox use flag with 
xulrunner and everything was fine.

HTH...
