--- Begin Message ---Package: firefox Version: 62.0-1 Severity: grave Tags: newcomer Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Upgraded firefox:amd64 (61.0.1-1, 62.0-1) * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Start Firefox. * What was the outcome of this action? The "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" message is displayed and history is not available. * What outcome did you expect instead? No errors?. Attempted the suggested troubleshooting steps: - Restart machine. - Move places.sqlite away so that FF creates a new one. - Create a new profile. The error remained after each of those steps. The solution: Even though firefox does not appear to link to sqlite (ldd showed no link to it), the solution was to upgrade sqlite: Upgrade: libsqlite3-0:amd64 (3.16.2-5+deb9u1, 3.24.0-1), sqlite3:amd64 (3.16.2-5+deb9u1, 3.24.0-1) -- Package-specific info: -- Addons package information -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (900, 'stable-updates'), (900, 'stable'), (800, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable'), (600, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages firefox depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.1.1 ii fontconfig 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.27-6 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.8-1 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.26-0+deb9u1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libevent-2.1-6 2.1.8-stable-4 ii libffi6 3.2.1-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.0-5 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3.2 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18+deb9u1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2+deb9u2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.11-1 ii libjsoncpp1 1.7.4-3 ii libnspr4 2:4.12-6 ii libnss3 2:3.39-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.24.0-1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-4+b2 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-18+deb9u1 ii libvpx5 1.7.0-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxcb-shm0 1.12-1 ii libxcb1 1.12-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-2+b3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii procps 2:3.3.12-3+deb9u1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages firefox recommends: ii libavcodec57 7:3.2.12-1~deb9u1 Versions of packages firefox suggests: pn fonts-lmodern <none> pn fonts-stix | otf-stix <none> ii libcanberra0 0.30-3 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.15-1+deb9u1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 -- no debconf information
