Liferea doesn't work anymore due to the latest firefox upload (2.0.0.3+3-0ubuntu1)

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Binary package hint: liferea

The latest firefox upload to Gutsy has broken liferea. A rebuild of it fixes this.

This debdiff fixes this bug.

Is this bug about the core dump on startup ?

I've tried to recompile with your patch for libnspr4-dev but I can meet the build-dep. apt-get wants to remove too many things:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  alacarte bug-buddy contact-lookup-applet deskbar-applet evolution evolution-data-server evolution-exchange evolution-plugins gaim
  gnome-applets gnome-control-center gnome-panel gnome-session gnome-terminal libcamel1.2-10 libebook1.2-9 libedata-book1.2-2
  libedataserverui1.2-8 libnspr4 libnss3 nautilus nautilus-cd-burner ubuntu-desktop
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libnspr4-dev
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 23 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

ok, got it right. Core dump is gone now.

I had to change build-deps from libnspr4-dev to libnspr-dev.

I also had to install libgtkhtml2-dev as liferea refused my libgtkhtml3.14-dev (it wants v2, not v3). Shouldn't it be in build-deps too ?

firefox-dev was not recognized by configure and.... my build is no longer dying for some feeds with the missing PR_NewMonitor symbol (bug #98725). Interesting.

Hi Fabien

>Is this bug about the core dump on startup ?

Yes, it is. You can build it with libnspr4-dev if you use a pbuilder ;)

Regarding libgtkhtml, we no longer build the gtkhtml engine, so liferea doesn't build-dep on it.

And yes, it's interesting that with the gtkhtml engine (you're using it now, aren't you?) it doesn't fails. Let's follow up in the other bug report.
