Hide Forgot
I did a minimal install of Fedora 20 then I did yum install xorg-x11-xauth firefox Firefox just crashes because it is missing vital dependencies. I think this is a packaging bug in firfox or one of its dependencies. What I see: I ssh -Y into the Virtual Machine. When I start firefox all I get is: # firefox (process:4444): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" (firefox:4444): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common' [root@idp ~]# Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" (crashreporter:4478): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common' (crashreporter:4478): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin' Expected outcome: Installing firefox yields a working application
So this is probably mostly fixed by comps groups, but it definitely shouldn't crash in the case someone didn't use the right comps groups. I'd suggest Requires: font(:lang=en) in the fontconfig spec file, so fontconfig gets at least one font (any font really) in this corner case, and comps still gets to set the rules for font policy in other cases. Moving to fontconfig, to see if the fontconfig maintainer agrees with me

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
