Package: deskbar-applet Version: 2.22.3.1-1 Severity: normal For deskbar-applet there is a version check embedded in 'mozilla.py' located in:
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible This version check is totally dependent on the constants specified in the 'mozilla.py' module. These VERSION constants are: ....lines 34-36: # Minimum and maximum version of Firefox MIN_FF_VERSION = [2, 0, 0, 0] MAX_FF_VERSION = [3, 0, 0, 0] # exclusively As can be readily seen the MAX version is INCORRECT when using the lenny-based default Iceweasel browser which is 3.0.1.0!! Thus, the provided lenny browser will cause the deskbar-applet to incorrectly deactivate any usage of: - Web Bookmarks (Mozilla) - Web History (Mozilla) search-activity options and report them as "Extensions with Errors". Proposed patch correction: 1. increase the MAX_FF_VERSION to an upper limit greater than the default Mozilla browser version (Firefox/Iceweasel) >3.0.1 2. possibly include some enhanced Version cross-checking so that deskbar-applet will NVER be out-of-sync with the Debian default browser level -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages deskbar-applet depends on: ii gconf2 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libbonobo2-0 2.22.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.22.0-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 2.22.3-1 Client library for evolution addre ii libedataserver1.2-9 2.22.3-1 Utility library for evolution data ii libgconf2-4 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2 2.22.3-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.22.0-4 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.13-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-3 GNOME XML library ii python 2.5.2-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.8 register and build utility for Pyt ii python-dbus 0.82.4-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-glade2 2.12.1-6 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gnome2 2.22.0-1 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gnome2-desktop 2.22.0-2 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gtk2 2.12.1-6 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge Versions of packages deskbar-applet recommends: ii gnome-utils 2.20.0.1-2 GNOME desktop utilities pn python-beagle <none> (no description available) pn python-soappy <none> (no description available) deskbar-applet suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Robert G.
