Weak. So sick of this: "You are not authorized to access bug #1159926. Most likely the bug has been restricted for internal development processes and we cannot grant access." Here we have a bug in Red Hat's rpms for firefox (an open source product), relating to dependencies on gtk2 (another open source product). And somehow this bug is blocked by another bug (#1159926) which cannot be accessed. So we can't even see what's blocking this. Way to go, Red Hat! Fixed in firefox-31.3.0-1.el6_6, released on Dec 02 2014. |
Description of problem: updating firefox to version 31 on EL 6.5 (without first updating everything), firefox fails to start because of undef symbol from gtk2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-31.2.0-3 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install EL 6.5 2. yum update firefox (to version 31) 3. run firefox Actual results: $ firefox Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_window_get_visual Expected results: firefox should require version >= 2.24 of gtk2 library. GNOME clearly indicates this symbol requires GTK2 version 2.24: https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/stable/gdk3-Windows.html#gdk-window-get-visual gdk_window_get_visual() Since 2.24 Additional info: to resolve problem, I updated the world: $ sudo yum update here is a trail of findind the required dependency (after updating the world): $ rpm -q firefox firefox-31.2.0-3.el6.x86_64 $ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so firefox-31.2.0-3.el6.x86_64 $ nm -Do /usr/lib/libgdk* | grep gdk_window_get_visual /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so:00a257b0 T gdk_window_get_visual /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0:00a257b0 T gdk_window_get_visual /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.23:00a257b0 T gdk_window_get_visual $ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.23 gtk2-2.24.23-6.el6.i686 Inspecting the spec file in the source RPM reveals the gtk2 dependency does not include any minimum version.
