Package: xulrunner-5.0
Version: 5.0-3
Severity: normal
I'm trying to use again the Debian-specific feature of being able to
symlink xulrunner-stub from the directory which includes the
application.ini of a xulrunner application (conkeror FWIW), but since
xulrunner-5.0 calling /usr/share/conkeror/xulrunner-stub (which is a
symlink to /usr/bin/xulrunner-stub) fails as follows:
$ sh -x /usr/bin/conkeror
+ XULRUNNER=
+ [ -L /usr/bin/xulrunner-stub ]
+ XULRUNNER=/usr/share/conkeror/xulrunner-stub
+ [ -z /usr/share/conkeror/xulrunner-stub ]
+ [ = --help ]
+ exec /usr/share/conkeror/xulrunner-stub
Could not find the Mozilla runtime.
(Note: The above is not yet in the Debian package in Sid, but from a
feature branch in git:
http://repo.or.cz/w/conkeror.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xr-stub-symlink)
This happens with xulrunner-5.0 from Unstable and xulrunner-6.0 from
mozilla.debian.net, but works fine with xulrunner-1.9.1 from Unstable,
xulrunner-1.9.2 and xulrunner-2.0 as available previously in either
Experimental or on mozilla.debian.net.
Calling e.g. "xulrunner-$version /usr/share/conkeror/application.ini"
still works fine with all of the above mentioned versions.

Can you elaborate that a little bit more? I don't understand the following:
* Why can xulrunner-stub be changed via alternatives, but not
xulrunner?
* How should I be able to use the xulrunner-stub which is chosen via
alternatives while the xulrunner should be hard-coded to some
specific version. That doesn't make sense for me.

I'd really like to make a symlink to /usr/bin/xulrunner, but I surely
won't bind conkeror to a specific xulrunner version if it works with
more than one xulrunner version.
That's why I'm now closing this bug as it's definitely no bug in
conkeror, even alone because that feature is not in any package yet
nor in the upstream master branch.
I though really would like to know why this isn't fixable in the
xulrunner packages.
Regards, Axel
