Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Irrelevant
Package(s) Affected
firefox-esr, browsh
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
I have firefox-esr installed. I expect that xbps-install browsh installs browsh.
Actual behaviour
browsh needs firefox, which conflicts with firefox-esr.
$ xbps-install browsh
Password:
CONFLICT: firefox-109.0.1_1 with installed pkg firefox-esr-102.3.0_1 (matched by firefox-esr>=0)
CONFLICT: firefox-esr-102.3.0_1 with firefox-109.0.1_1 in transaction (matched by firefox>=0)
Transaction aborted due to conflicting packages

Steps to reproduce
- Install
firefox-esr. You will need to uninstallfirefox. - Try to install
browsh.
