Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
the x11-common package provides this link:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-10-11 16:31 /usr/X11R6/bin -> ../bin
If /usr/X11R6/bin is ahead of /usr/bin in the path (yes, I know, not
required, but it should still work), then running firefox on the command
line fails:
$ firefox
cd: 129: can't cd to ../lib/firefox
/usr/X11R6/bin/firefox: 184: /usr/X11R6/bin/run-mozilla.sh: not found
Exit 127
/bin/sh is apparently doing something counterintuitive with cd (maybe
this is an sh bug?):
$ cd /usr/X11R6/bin
$ ls -ld ../lib/firefox ../lib/firefox/firefox
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2007-10-18 19:04 ../lib/firefox
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5257 2007-10-18 19:04 ../lib/firefox/firefox
$ cd ../lib/firefox
cd: 3: can't cd to ../lib/firefox
The directory is clearly accessible, but cd doesn't work in this case.
bash does not have this problem.
