Liferea fails to start epiphany when clicking on links

[Raphael Slinckx]

When epiphany isn't running:
 * Clicking on a feed item or a link should launch epiphany, instead in the console you can see the following error message:

epiphany: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/firefox/components/libdocshell.so: undefined symbol: PR_GetPhysicalMemorySize
  This is with liferea-mozilla and liferea-gtkhtml

When epiphany is already running:
 * Everything works as expected, the link is opened in the running epiphany.

Launching /usr/bin/liferea-bin directly instead of the wrapper /usr/bin/liferea works around this problem.

I'm using ubuntu dapper with latest epiphany and liferea packages.

Comments from the epiphany maintainer (chpe):
chpe: looks like liferea was built with a different libnspr
chpe: was liferea rebuilt since nspr was split off from ff ?
[..]
chpe: exports LD_LIBRARY_PATH
chpe: so liferea does the LD_LIBRARY_PATH thing even though it's not even compiled with mozilla.
chpe: liferea.in file is broken
chpe: I recomment "dpkg --purge liferea" instead :D

Thanks for the report.

The liferea packages were updated in Dapper quite recently (now version 1.0.4-1ubuntu1). Do you still get this problem with the latest packages?

I can't reproduce this.

liferea is now at version 1.0.7-1ubuntu1 in dapper.

when i set browser to epiphany in the prefferences it will opens links in epiphany fine.

i am going to assume this has been fixed and close the bug. please feel free to reopen it if you are still experiencing the bug.
