Problem: jdic-0.9.5-0.pm.1.i586 requires libxpcom_core.so, but this
requirement cannot be provided
  uninstallable providers: MozillaSunbird-0.8-16.85.i586[repo-oss]
                   MozillaThunderbird-2.0.0.18-1.9.i586[repo-oss]
                   seamonkey-1.1.13-1.11.i586[repo-oss]
                   MozillaThunderbird-2.0.0.19-0.1.2.i586[repo-update]
                   seamonkey-1.1.14-1.1.i586[repo-update]

I locked all these package, to prevent their installation. I wanted a
slim frostwire installation, not 20MB of mozillasunbird (and other
deps totalling ++60MB) that I will never ever use.

My question was not "what are frostwires deps". It was, "why do I need
to install mozilla Sunbird?" Is there something else that can provide
"libxpcom_core.so" as shown above (that is smaller than seamonkey,
Tbird, or Sbird?
