Bug 480989

I'm getting the same problem on Rawhide today with:

firefox-3.5-0.20.beta4.fc11.x86_64
sqlite-3.6.12-3.fc11.x86_64
xulrunner-1.9.1-0.20.beta4.fc11.x86_64

I don't see any updates to these, even on Koji.

I don't understand what changed.  None of these have been updated in the last few days and my firefox was OK this morning before today's updates which also didn't change these (according to the announcement anyway)!

That's very strange.  Beta 4 requires sqlite 3.6.10 or greater.  The plan was to bump to 3.6.13 but that didn't make it into the beta.  Final will require 3.6.14.  I just checked and there's just a versioned BuildRequires in xulrunner.spec (which is where this needs to live), and no explicit versioned Requires but adding one won't help in this case since >=3.6.10 exists on the system per comment #1!  However, yes, AFAIK nothing got updated so I'm not quite sure what to make of this...

Can you reproduce this?  Are there any other reports?   I'm trying to work out if I need to probe deeper on my local system, or if I should just wait for an update?

I just fully updated to rawhide, and no, I can't reproduce this...  Submitting this comment using rawhide's FF.  Perhaps strace output could help figure this out?

Can you give me clue, or point me at a howto, on running strace on firefox?
All I can see is reams of X11 polling.

I tried running "firefox -g -d gdb"  but I'm confused by all the threads.  Is there a howto?

BTW.  This may be x86_64 specific.   I don't get the same problem on an i386 machine of the same Rawide vintage, but with a smaller set of rpms installed.

I tried "firefox -safemode", but same result, suggesting that the problem is not caused by extensions or themes.

I've tried moving aside: /usr/lib64/moz* /usr/lib64/fire* $HOME/.moz* $HOME/.fire*
then "yum reinstall firefox xulrunner sqlite"
but no change.

OK, problem solved, my bad.

I had an old copy of sqlite installed from source.

Sorry to bother you.

okay, closing as notabug.

Hi,
I'm experiencing the problem again.

xulrunner-1.9.1-0.20.beta4.fc12.i586
firefox-3.5-0.21.beta4.fc12.i586
sqlite-3.6.12-1.fc11.i586

The spec file says sqlite > 3.6.10 is BuildRequired and Required.
But this version of xulrunner was actually built against sqlite 3.6.14 and it will check on startup that that the sqlite actually used is >= 3.6.14.

I'm going to fix this by adding the following require to xulrunner:

Requires: sqlite >= %(rpm -q --qf %%{VERSION} sqlite)

I comitted my fix to cvs as xulrunner-1.9.1-0.21.beta4.fc12.
(No rebuild yet.)

Oops, uberpackager spell is not enough.
This is the patch to be committed

spec patch 2

Second iteration.

The runtime check is based on checking SQLITE_VERSION_NUMBER from sqlite3.h; that means that the fourth commponent of version string is ignored.  For example, versions 3.6.14.2 and 3.6.14 are equal.

I considered four places where the version can be taken from:
- rpm -q sqlite
- grep sqlite3.h
- sqlite3 --version
- pkg-config --modversion sqlite3

I was told not to use rpm -q.
All the other ways need computing the name "sqlite3" from the minimum version macro.

I tried to use SQLITE_VERSION_NUMBER, as this is exactly what is used runtime but the code I got was not a one-liner, I had to add the awk script as Source1:.
So I threw that out.

This patch gets the version number reported by sqlite3 and truncates it to three fields.

How do you like it?

added to rawhide with some modifications (removed version restriction & switched to pkg-config).

I guess what pidgin.spec does for glib2 dependency can
be applied to xulrunner.spec:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/pidgin/devel/pidgin.spec?view=co

---------------------------------------------------------------
# Require Binary Compatible glib
# returns bogus value if glib2-devel is not installed in order for parsing to succeed
# bogus value wont make it into a real package
%define glib_ver %([ -a %{_libdir}/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc ] && pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0 | cut -d. -f 1,2 || echo -n "999")
BuildRequires:	glib2-devel
Requires:       glib2 >= %{glib_ver}
----------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed, I invented the same trick.

In reply to comment #14, a few nits:
> [ -a %{_libdir}/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc ]

I would use -e instead of -a, it means the same and cannot be confused with the and operator.  Or even better, I'd use -r.
And even better, pkg-config has an option --silence-errors.

a safer patch

This is a variant with a fallback branch.  Again, it applies to the up-to-date rawhide.

That patch from comment #16 shoudl work in koji.
But I cannot check it easily, the problem happened during checkout for srpm build, which I cannot test not having access to cvs.

Created attachment 366281 [details]
patch to engrave the real sqlite version

The patch has been updated against current devel.

It contains a fallback so that the specfile can be parsed even on machines without pkg-config installed.

Moreover, there is a sanity check at the begining of %build to prevent creating a build with crippled dependencies.

OK to apply this patch?

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Added to rawhide.

Added to xulrunner-1.9.1.6-2.fc12.

xulrunner-1.9.1.6-2.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12.
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xulrunner-1.9.1.6-2.fc12

xulrunner-1.9.1.6-2.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

I've got the same problem. Here are the problem versions:

## same problem re: SQLite version being too old
[emparq@bart:~]$ rpm -q firefox xulrunner
firefox-3.5.6-1.fc12.x86_64
xulrunner-1.9.1.6-2.fc12.x86_64

...and uninstalling and re-installing the older versions of these two packages still work for me:

## reinstalling older versions of just 'firefox' and 'xulrunner'
[emparq@bart:~]$ sudo rpm -e --nodeps xulrunner firefox && sudo yum install -y --disablerepo=updates firefox xulrunner

## older versions that are still working after the above command
[emparq@bart:~]$ rpm -q firefox xulrunner
firefox-3.5.4-1.fc12.x86_64
xulrunner-1.9.1.4-1.fc12.x86_64

Which sqlite package do you have installed?

Here you go:

[emparq@bart:~]$ rpm -qa sqlite
sqlite-3.6.20-1.fc12.i686
sqlite-3.6.20-1.fc12.x86_64
