Bug#725823: pu: package icedove/3.0.11-1+squeeze15
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
Dear release team,
for the icedove version 3.0.x (and 3.1.x in squeeze-backport) released
with squeeze are some similar bugs opened after the release of squeeze.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626812
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659301

Those bugs are all depened on undefined symbols that all happend after
the libc version > 2.11.3-x. That relay on the order icedove is reading
the symbols from the varous libraries and theese libraries again from
other libraries.
So in the end a fix is basicly simply, icedove has to be started with
the presetted variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD to be shure the
symbols are readed in the correct order and icedove will start and work
correctly.
The following patch will solve the described issues from the bug reports
above.
The patched file mozilla.in will become /usr/lib/icedove/icedove
(/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird in the original Thunderbird package)
while package creating and is the executable start script for icedove.
This script calls at the end /usr/lib/icedove/run-mozilla.sh that is
shipped by Mozilla.

Any chances to get this change into the next point release for Squeeze?
