Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
x-www-browser doesn't work properly with mozilla firefox (as of
3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 , in an intrepid system fully dist-
upgraded ). The symlink is pointing correctly to /etc/alternatives/x
-www-browser, which itself is pointing to /usr/bin/firefox . But when
run, x-www-browser crashes with:
$ LC_ALL="en_EN" x-www-browser
/usr/bin/x-www-browser: line 117: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/x-www-browser: No such
file or directory
/usr/bin/x-www-browser: line 117: exec: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/x-www-browser:
cannot execute: No such file or directory
IF we examine that line, we get:
exec $LIBDIR/$APPNAME "$@"
which itself is defined at the beginning of the file (line 11) as:
APPNAME=`basename $0`
which, of course, when called from the symlink gets its basename as x
-www-browser, so it cannot find the executable and crashes.
Solution would be to add a symlink in the deb package from
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/x-www-browser to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox , or to
change the /usr/bin/firefox script .
