I think I am seeing this too. It was reported in #316824 (for 'mozilla')
but I did not cross-report to 'mozilla-firefox'.
The patch below should fix the issue, see #316824 for why I think
it fixes it.
I don't see why the firefox script should circumvent YOUR broken
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is b0rked in the first place,
change it.
Well, that's a helpful response! I need to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to
run particular software that I need to run to do my work.
In particular, we use Debian 'stable' because we need that stability
when writing programs to swing 1,000 tonnes of metal around the sky
(www.parkes.atnf.csiro.au). However for some other parts of our work
we need to install a more recent GCC than stable provides into
/usr/local/gnu. This is what is biting us here.
The fix is only 4 bytes, and since the shell execs into the binary,
who cares what mangling of LD_LIBRARY_PATH goes on inside the wrapper?
I thought that was the whole point of the wrapper.
And it means an important debian package runs nicely in a wider range
of environments.
Kind regards
Vince
