RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description bizniz.nonaya 2014-11-03 01:42:49 UTC 
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.

Weak.
Comment 5 BugMasta 2014-11-18 02:18:15 UTC 
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!
Comment 6 Martin Stransky 2014-12-16 14:52:23 UTC 
Fixed in firefox-31.3.0-1.el6_6, released on Dec 02 2014.
