Bug#511633: icedtea-gcjwebplugin: crashes on every site that contains applets
I only started seeing this recently (but on multiple architectures and systems). On a clean Sid install, I get the error as in message #5; if I manually created ~/.icedteaplugin/icedtea-plugin-to-appletviewer as a link to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/pluginappletviewer, I get the error as in message #15. I also get pipes appearing in ~/.gcjwebplugin to the pluginappletviewer either way. However, a fix is this: when I uninstall this package and install icedtea6-plugin instead, everything works (or at least the couple of sites I tried that had previously been crashing and locking up iceweasel, such as the link in #5 and www.emolecules.com). Using this plugin, I get pipes to the appletviewer here instead of in .gcjwebplugin. This suggests to me that the problem is not necessarily in this package, but could instead be in java-gcj. The timing of the update to 1.0.80-1 I did on my existing Squeeze systems (as opposed to the clean install) approximately coincides with when the problem started occurring. However, this is speculation on my part, since I haven't worked out the exact relationships amongst all the java packages. Regardless of where exactly the problem lies, for now I'm just using the alternate plugin package. I don't really know why I was using icedtea-gcjwebplugin instead of icedtea6-plugin in the first place, except that the former was available a few months sooner and I probably just adopted the first one to be packaged. ___ pkg-java-maintainers mailing list pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers
