5 It's been annoying me for a week now with this message:
6
7 !!! existing preserved libs:
8 >>> package: www-client/firefox-40.0.2
9 * - /usr/lib64/firefox/libmozalloc.so
10 * used by /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libdbusservice.so
11 (mail-client/thunderbird-38.2.0)
12 * used by /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libmozgnome.so
13 (mail-client/thunderbird-38.2.0)
14 * used by
15 /usr/lib64/thunderbird/distribution/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/components/libcalbasecomps.so
16 (mail-client/thunderbird-38.2.0)
17 * used by 4 other files

20 Both Mozilla products ship this file:
21
22 $ locate libmozalloc
23 /usr/lib64/firefox/libmozalloc.so
24 /usr/lib64/thunderbird/libmozalloc.so
25
26 and according to preserved libs, thunderbird linked to the firefox copy.
27 The only offered solution on the bug is to use a MASK variable, which
28 seems to me an ugly hammer to swat a fly.

30 I was wondering if there's a better way been developed in the last year.
