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)
