Note that the searchplugins directory is empty after I extracted the
seamonkey files from the tar. The xml files you see here are put by hand
from another working firefox install.

Once I copied those xml files by hand, I had the pull down list in the
preferences.

That is indeed unusual. If you check the tar.bz

$ tar -tvf seamonkey-2.15.1.tar.bz2
$ md5sum seamonkey-2.15.1.tar.bz2
39af07da664bd100e4f9c4941cb81987  seamonkey-2.15.1.tar.bz2

and

$ tar -tvf seamonkey-2.15.1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
$ md5sum seamonkey-2.15.1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
db4961c7df843c716c67a7b07066b8de
seamonkey-2.15.1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

  you should find (32bit & 64bit respectively):

So if those aren't getting extracted, then yes you've a problem. How are
you extracting the .tar.bz?


So I know now how o correct the situation, but it seems not to be normal
that those xml files aren't in the seamonkey tar file.

I also check the German version:
$ md5sum seamonkey-2.15.1.tar.bz2
fb9042404aa5bed8f1db26e1dc3fb994  seamonkey-2.15.1.tar.bz2
and the directory & xml files are there as well.


As said in another part of the thread.
I have the same issue with the firefox 18.01 tar.
When extraced the searchplugins directory is empty.
And I also don't have the pull down list until I copy by hand the xml files.

Hope I answered as you wished.


Good thinking.

The checksum is ok.
To extract, I display the tar file in the ROX-filer.
When I clck on it, Xarchiver 0.5.2 is opened with the tar file inside.
I select extract and the tar is extracted.

As a test I did the tar -tvf command and saw now the searchplugins listed with the xml files inside.

So I did a tar -xvf and have indeed the searchplugins extracted as should be with the xml files inside.

So something is wrong with Xarchiver 0.5.2 and the seamonkey tar isn't extracted correctly.

This could explain other weird things I have some times, like the auto-update not being executed correctly.

Thank you for your intervention.
