The reason is that we do not only use gtkmozembed, which provides only the widget. But to implement zooming and to set Mozilla preferences we need to use the C++ APIs of Mozilla too. And these APIs changed at least two times since we started using Mozilla based rendering in Liferea. So you'd get a linker error when Liferea would try to load the Mozilla plugin. > > The unresolved dependency can be explained by the "liferea" start > > script which sets up additional paths before starting the > > "liferea-bin" binary.

I think as long as you have a Mozilla renderer in your system you'll need the package. Lars -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
