[gentoo-user] vlc wants mozilla - but I don't

[Hemmann, Volker Armin]

Hi,

since a -rX update some days ago vlc wants to install mozilla-firefox.

But I don't!

I have firefox-bin installed and I don't want any other version - heck, if I 
could I would go cvompletly without firefox.

So how can I force vlc to let the mozilla-crap alone?

Previous versions of vlc would satisfy the nsplugin dependancy with
gecko-sdk, which is now masked.  The updated version depends on either
seamonkey or mozilla-firefox (depending upon the seamonkey useflag)
when you have USE=nsplugin.

So your options are:

USE=-nsplugin : no dependancy on mozilla-firefox or seamonkey
USE="nsplugin seamonkey" : dependancy on seamonkey
USE=nsplugin : dependancy on mozilla-firefox

You can also file a bug that the nsplugin dependancy should be
satisfied by mozilla-firefox-bin as well.  I'm not sure that
mozilla-firefox-bin is actually sufficient to configure vlc with
--enable-mozilla=firefox, but that should be easy enough to determine.

I doubt it. mozilla-firefox-bin does not provide any of the development 
libraries (e.g. gtkmozembed) or headers.
