The main problem is that /usr/bin/xulrunner is a symlink to either /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9pre/xulrunner or, depending on a architecture, /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9pre/xulrunner. These are different links hence a conflict. A target of that link is a script again, similar in a spirit to a common for x86_64 and i386 architectures script /usr/bin/firefox (thus firefox.i386 and firefox.x86_64 can be installed without conflicts). Even if rewriting xulrunner script in a similar manner would be not a good idea, for whatever reasons, then replacing /usr/bin/xulrunner link with an "architecturaly smart" script which execs the next level should solve the issue. That initial piece of a code which establishes MOZ_LIB_DIR in /usr/bin/firefox could be lifted from there nearly literally after minor adjustments.
Created attachment 302673 [details] proposed /usr/bin/xulrunner replacement If there are no other takers then it looks like that something like that, cribbed from fragments of /usr/bin/firefox, will work as /usr/bin/xulrunner without causing conflicts between multilib packages.
Michal, please provide it in patch format. You can do this with the following command: diff -u $OLD_FILE $NEW_FILE
It's a new file so patch is not necessary :)
added to xulrunner-1.9-0.55.beta5.fc9
