@Ravenman, IceCat needs exactly its xulrunner version, but you can use IceCat with lastest xulrunner, though. It isn't recommended, just "it works". I've been playing a bit and IceCat seems to be stable. Quick steps: - pacman -Sd xulrunner - Download lastest tarball and untar it. - makepkg -d - pacman -U icecat-3.6.4-1-${arch}.pkg.tar.xz or just you can wait until Giuseppe release lastest version ;)

The package xulrunner has been updated from 1.9.2.4 to 1.9.2.6 version and I can't install IceCat by the dependencies. What can I do?

i18n package was splitted. Please, check your language package: icecat-${langpack}. Much better, I think.

i was talking only about icecat and firefox. if you use firefox, pacman will never fetch libgnomeui and after compiling icecat you do pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qdtq) will clean that crap too.

Am I really though? I have gtk-qt-engine running just fine without libbonoboui or kdelibs (which both pull in a ton of unnescessary depends), and I have icecat running just fine without libgnomeui. Both of which were built without those packages and without the need for --disable flags or otherwise pkgbuild modification except removing/replacing deps. If this is possible, why should they be required? How about this from the gtk-qt-engine readme? Prerequisites: CMake 2.4 Qt 4.3 developement package GTK developement package I dont see any libgnomeui or kdelibs, no affiliation with any DE at all. or how about this from the icecat readme? The default configuration of IceCat uses the following libraries: libpango libpangoxft libpangoft2 libfreetype libxft libgtk2 libx11 wheres libgnomeui? The configure script checks for it sure, but it doesnt require it, not for building or otherwise. Only gnome users might want this, but even then its not required. Its like an optbuilddep because its optional, but if you choose to use it it should be installed before you compile like a builddep. This could easily be covered in the optdep details (libgnomeui: for gnome integration, requires rebuilding the package)

@tjwoosta you are such full of crap. if you don't know the difference between depends and makedepends you are not allowed to speak.
