I'm getting the same Abort. I tracked it down to a sqlite3 version mismatch in
xulrunner.
See
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/storage/src/mozStorageService.cpp#68
The problem comes from both a/ xulrunner-1.9.1 and b/ liferea.
I guess those who don't have xulrunner-1.9.1 installed are not seeing this.
a/ Liferea is built with the xul "static glue", meaning it will use the newest
xul engine registered in /etc/gre.d.
If you have both xulrunner-1.9 and xulrunner-1.9.1 installed, liferea will
start with 1.9.1.
The problem is that while xulrunner-1.9 is built with *system* sqlite3
(3.5.9), xulrunner-1.9.1 is built with *in-source* sqlite3 (3.6.4).
3.6.* is needed for various reasons (mostly performance improvements)
but unfortunately, 3.6.* is not in Ubuntu (yet). That's the reason I
decided to go for in-source sqlite3 in xulrunner-1.9.1. As liferea is
built with system sqlite3, but goes for xulrunner 1.9.1 at run time, it
gets the version mismatch.
The problem could be solved in Jaunty by uploading sqlite >= 3.6.4 and
rebuilding xulrunner 1.9.1 (so it automatically jumps back to system sqlite3 -
there's a test at build time for that).
For Intrepid and Hardy (for which I provide xulrunner 1.9.1 through my PPA) I
guess I can re-add a workaround we had at some point in xulrunner-1.9, which
was to provide a libsqlite3.so.0 symlink toward the libsqlite3.so inside the
xul libdir. The same work-around will work in jaunty too, while we {wait
for,work on} the sqlite 3.6 update.
That's where the liferea issue kicks in. It will only work if liferea
finds its libs (in particular sqlite) in the xul libdir.
b/ If you look at the /usr/bin/liferea wrapper, it tries to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to the xul *devel* libdir, which is not supposed to exist in user setups. It
gets that at build time using pkg-config --libs-only-L libxul-embedding.
This is wrong.
I have a fix for that, which is to identify the xul libdir at runtime,
by asking xulrunner itself.
Here is attached the debdiff for Jaunty. It would be nice to update
intrepid too.
