Package: icedove
Version: 3.0.11-1+squeeze15
Severity: important
On my system, the first time icedove is started with an empty or
non-existent $HOME/.icedove directory, it crashes with the message
/usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/icedove/components/libmailcomps.so: undefined symbol:
NS_CStringContainerInit2
I guess the problem is caused by the fact that
1. icedove-bin is linked against libxpcom_core.so but not against
libxpcom.so (as per objdump output)
2. for some reason, the first time icedove is started it dlopen()s
libmailcomps.so before libxpcom.so.
A quick and dirty workaround consists in setting the environment variable
LD_BIND_NOW=1 before launching the executable (see the following patch).
Of course it would be much better to change the build script in order
to add libxpcom.so to the libraries.
Best regards,
g1
PS: I see that there are several (merged) bug reports that are
variations on this theme, with different undefined symbols. Maybe the
trick works for them too.
