Bug#344835: Dynamicly loaded GSSAPI library

2005-12-26 Thread ms419
Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg-3

GSSAPI library is dynamicly loaded by Firefox 1.5 -
http://cgi.sfu.ca/~jdbates/tmp/firefox/200512260/patch

However, it fails to load versioned libraries -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321514

Dunno whether a) support for versioned libraries should be added to
Firefox, b) libkrb53  libgssapi4-heimdal should provided un-versioned
sym-links - /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so  /usr/lib/libgssapi.so (suspect
this violates Debian shared library policy), or c) Firefox should
Recommends: libkrb5-dev | heimdal-dev (would be strange to need
development packages at runtime)

Thanks so much for maintaining Firefox in Debian!

I'll see what upstream comes up with, but at worst, coming up for a
patch for this should be pretty easy.
