 Workaround is to directly use /usr/lib/xulrunner-*/xulrunner-bin from
 the according version (which is not in the shell's search path by
 default).

Another workaround is to copy the file
/usr/lib/xulrunner-13.0/run-mozilla.sh to /usr/lib/xulrunner-14.0.
This file didn't change since xulrunner 10.

Regards, Jörg.

Bug#683157: xulrunner-14.0: Regression from XR 13: Fails to start: Cannot find XULRunner runtime directory. Exiting.

2012-07-29 Thread Axel Beckert
Package: xulrunner-14.0
Version: 14.0.1-2
Severity: important
Forwarded: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756786
Tags: upstream

[This bug report is a summary of the thread on the
 pkg-mozilla-maintainers list mentioned below.]

xulrunner-14.0 is unable to start and hence more or less unusable for
XULRunner applications which don't use xulrunner-stub:

$ xulrunner-14.0
Cannot find XULRunner runtime directory. Exiting.
$

Compared with xulrunner-13.0:

$ xulrunner-13.0
Mozilla XULRunner 13.0.1

Usage: xulrunner [OPTIONS]
   xulrunner APP-FILE [APP-OPTIONS...]

OPTIONS
  --app  specify APP-FILE (optional)
  -h, --help show this message
  -v, --version  show version
  --gre-version  print the GRE version string on stdout
  --install-app application [destination [directoryname]]
 Install a XUL application.

APP-FILE
  Application initialization file.

APP-OPTIONS
  Application specific options.
$

The same happens when trying to run a XULRunner application which
doesn't use xulrunner-stub (like Conkeror) with xulrunner-14.0:

$ xulrunner-14.0 /usr/share/conkeror/application.ini
Cannot find XULRunner runtime directory. Exiting.
$

(For that reason, the conkeror package currently only supports XULRunner
up to version 13 and is hence not directly affected, but relies on older
versions being available instead.)

This is tracked upstream at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756786 also affects the
xulrunner-15.0 and xulrunner-16.0 packages from the archive at
http://mozilla.debian.net/.

Workaround is to directly use /usr/lib/xulrunner-*/xulrunner-bin from
the according version (which is not in the shell's search path by
default).

xulrunner-stub using applications like iceweasel are not affected.

On the pkg-mozilla-maintainers list the issue is discussed in this
thread:
