Mozilla 0.8. Have alienated it, launched it and watched it go comatose. The rpm works fine in LM 7.2. Another poster, Chad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, suggested debhelper for the tarballs (which one can extract from the src.rpm). Well, I have been blindly using it regularly enough to produce my own private advance release packages. It (eventually) fails on sources as massive as the irradiated browser.
