Does anyone have an opinion to offer on bug 501468? https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501468
It's been annoying me for a week now with this message: !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: www-client/firefox-40.0.2 * - /usr/lib64/firefox/libmozalloc.so * used by /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libdbusservice.so (mail-client/thunderbird-38.2.0) * used by /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libmozgnome.so (mail-client/thunderbird-38.2.0) * used by /usr/lib64/thunderbird/distribution/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/components/libcalbasecomps.so (mail-client/thunderbird-38.2.0) * used by 4 other files Both Mozilla products ship this file: $ locate libmozalloc /usr/lib64/firefox/libmozalloc.so /usr/lib64/thunderbird/libmozalloc.so and according to preserved libs, thunderbird linked to the firefox copy. The only offered solution on the bug is to use a MASK variable, which seems to me an ugly hammer to swat a fly. I was wondering if there's a better way been developed in the last year. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
