xulrunner stops upgrade
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I have iceweasel 3.5.10-1~bpo50-1 installed from lenny-backports. Among
other packages it depends on xulrunner 1.9.1, also installed from
lenny-backports when I installed that version of iceweasel.
When recently I ran aptitude update I discovered that the version of
xulrunner was to be upgraded from 1.9.1.10-1 to 1.9.1.11-1. When
however I ran aptitude upgrade the following message appeared:
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
/tmp/tmpVrC3qX (press RETURN)xulrunner (1.9.1.10-1) unstable; urgency=high
Due to problems with the version of at least epiphany-gecko and
kazehakase-gecko this backport of does not ship the file
/etc/gre.d/1.9.1.system.conf.
Iceweasel should pick up the new xulrunner version anyway, however should
you need this backport for other packages and depends on that file,
you can
try to:
a) Create such a file somewhere outside of /etc/gre.d/ and set the
MOZ_GRE_CONF pointing to that location.
b) Create such a file in your users ${HOME}/.gre.d directory (which
you most
likely need to create).
The contents of it should look like the following:
[1.9.1.6]
GRE_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1
xulrunner=true
abi=x86_64-gcc3

(END)
RESULT=130
(END)
At this point the upgrade aborted, with the result that none of the 28
packages awaiting upgrade were upgraded.
Since I do not use gnome or kazehakase I concluded that I needn't worry
about the issues referred to with respect to these packages. So as
instructed I tried option (a) in that message, creating the conf file in
a different directory and the variable MOZ_GRE_CONF to point to it. I
then ran aptitude upgrade again with the same result: the same message
followed by abortion of the upgrade.
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to solve this
problem, presumably either by telling me what I must do (other than what
I have already done) about the xulrunner problem, or how to avoid
upgrading xulrunner (probably not necessary in my case) but upgrade all
the 27 other packages.
