There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Resolution |
| 62 |
========== |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
# emerge --sync |
| 67 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/seamonkey-2.53.5.1" |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Gentoo has discontinued support for the SeaMonkey binary package. We |
| 70 |
recommend that users unmerge the SeaMonkey binary package: |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
# emerge --unmerge "www-client/seamonkey-bin" |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining the SeaMonkey binary package |
| 75 |
have discontinued support at this time. It may be possible that a new |
| 76 |
Gentoo developer will update it at a later date. The alternative is |
| 77 |
using the standard SeaMonkey package. |
