Bug#367113: libxext6: missing symlink libXext.so on fresh install
Package: libxext6
Version: 1:1.0.0-4
Severity: normal
Last night, I did a fresh install of x-window-system. Firefox crashes
frequently:
open("/usr/lib/firefox/libXext.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libXext.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 48
fstat(48, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=35071, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 35071, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 48, 0) = 0x2aaaacc03000
close(48) = 0
access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

When I make the symlink, firefox does not crash. I previously had unstable
installed with the same package versions and everything was fine. Probably
the symlink was left around from a previous version.
