xulrunner and its gcc-libs dependancy

xulrunner-1.9.1.2-1 requires gcc-libs >=4.4.1.

I've some ignored pkgs in my pacman.conf and gcc-libs is one of them.
This dependancy doesn't allows me to install firefox 3.5.2, but forcing xulrunner-1.9.1.2 to be installed regardless of my old gcc-libs package (4.4.0) doesn't exhibits any issue.

Does anyone knows why xulrunner-1.9.1.2-1 depends on gcc-libs >=4.4.1 ?

Hello kokoko3k!

I think It's more relevant to ask from the author, maybe they knows the application better, but wait for answer here too.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I believe that xulrunner's GCC dependency isn't about the runtime, but about the gecko-sdk. There are other packages than just Firefox that require xulrunner, and the GCC dependency may be necessary to keep consistency with other packages built against certain versions of GCC.

Re: xulrunner and its gcc-libs dependancy

Maybe you're right skottish, i was just wondering which applications, because i cannot upgrade gcc-libs without going down to the kernel (and i cannot upgrade kernel because of some hw issues).
