I disagree. I know I am sounding like a broken record here as this is at a minimum the third time I've typed this out, but :-) We cannot simply delete these files. There are packages that look for them. And those packages are doing the right thing, because they think that NSS/NSPR is being provided by Moz products. They have to assume that NSS/NSPR is being provided by a Moz product because the Moz products *will not build without being patched* if you use system installed NSS/NSPR. We cannot expect a package maintainer to assume that a Moz product has been patched. They *must* assume that the Moz product is installed IAW Moz's recommendations, which right now does not include using system-installed NSS/NSPR. And, it then should be assumed that the mozproduct-ns*.pc file is valid. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 14:46:00 up 14 days, 22:55, 3 users, load average: 0.04, 0.02, 0.11 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
