Description Joe Harmon 2006-01-25 15:53:32 UTC

If you download and install firefox 1.5 from SUSE'S fpt site under Projects, evolution would not start due to a missing libssl3.so

It appears that the rpm installs firefox in /usr/lib instead of /opt and
therefore evolution cannot find the lib.

Comment 1 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-01-25 17:21:00 UTC

Evolution on 10.0 should depend on mozilla-nss instead of MozillaFirefox.
And therefore should find the lib in default library path.
Please check that.

Comment 2 Forgotten User jq9zgB7cRO 2006-01-26 07:29:47 UTC

Have asked original poster for more info about NSS, but why would updating Firefox break the dependency? surely it should not over-ride the default?

Yes, that is what it is looking for. And even though it was installed by
Thuderbird, NVU and Firefox 1.5, Evolution wanted it in
/opt/Mozillafirefox/lib. Apparently Firefox 1.5 puts it in another
location. I copied it(and, as it turns out, the other libs it wanted) back
to /opt/Mozillafirefox/lib. Evolution is happy now, but that's a hell of a
way to run an airline, er, update.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-01-26 08:17:52 UTC

Is this report really for SUSE Linux 10.0?
Evolution is built against mozilla-nss in this version and should not rely on NSS libs installed in /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib.
It could still be a problem in SUSE versions before 10.0.
But I would expect that Evolution at least tries to get the libs from /usr/lib or /usr/lib64.
That's only a minor bug as long as Firefox 1.5 is only available via half-official update mechanisms.
@gnome-maintainers: any thoughts?

Comment 4 Stanislav Brabec 2006-01-26 11:05:30 UTC

Evolution from 10.0 requires mozilla. In past we have had a bug, that Firefox can fulfill RPM dependencies, but cannot fulfill evolution requirements.

Evolution from 10.0+kde (and 10.1) requires mozilla-xulrunner/nss/nspr.

We should check again for 10.1, whether rpm -q --requires evolution and rpm -q --requires MozillaFirefox and rpm -q --requires mozilla-xulrunner implies dependencies, as we expect.

Comment 5 Joe Harmon 2006-01-26 15:33:39 UTC

I will leave this in the hands of Mark (baskitcaise) since I put the bug in for his customer. If you need any information please set needinfo to him. Mark, let me know if you need anything from me.

Comment 6 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-08-06 18:10:06 UTC

As Firefox 1.5.0.x will hit older distributions soon we have to check if there are more packages which hardcoded /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib as path to find some gecko libs.

Comment 7 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-08-07 13:24:46 UTC

WONTFIX for the packages in pub/projects but fixed for the upcoming Firefox security updates.
