btw. this bug was filled after a short discussion here in Brno. Chris, why we use the /usr/lib/firefox-{version} directories what break the update? Is there any security/ABI reason? Or did I miss something? Oops, forget about that `/etc/ld.so.conf.d/firefox-1.5.0.10.conf' note as I expected multiple firefox version can get installed simultaneously which is not possible anyway. strasnky, I believe these directories were designed plugins for the unstable ABI which makes sense for 1.5 vs. 2.0 but I just do not believe it is needed even for the updates (.10). On #brno you said Firefox is not absolutely ABI stable across its updates. In such case this whole Bug would become WONTFIX as its fix would require the RHEL stable ABI backporting effort. Hopefully once the build systems are merged, we can setup some automated way of doing this, or at least notify me ahead of time so i get a chance to push a galeon update before the firefox RPMs are pushed... Lace, did you mean that I should close this as WONTFIX? (In reply to comment #4) > Lace, did you mean that I should close this as WONTFIX? Please leave this bug open, I'll manage it. And I'd like to get a feedback from Chris, at least. okay, closing. (In reply to comment #6) > okay, closing. Any reason why the incompatibility exists? |
