Well, only slightly incorrectly. Don't take it personal, y'all.
I do believe this rates as "important" however.
Observation:
I upgraded from woody to sarge recently.
When I run /usr/bin/mozilla or /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox, the
wrapper script exits with status code 1, but no other indication of
a problem. This is mystifying to users...but I digress.
Analysis:
The problem in my case was LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
It gets set to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins:/usr/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
During startup, /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-xremote-client searches for
the shared library libgcc_s.so.1. This is located in /lib, which is not
in the search path above. Instead, my system was finding this in
/usr/local/gnu/lib, (ie in my preexisting LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and barfing,
because of a compiler version mismatch (see strace attachment).
Suggested solution:
Trivial patches attached. Can these *please* be applied to the sarge
version as well as unstable.
This could be a problem with the libgcc1 package, ie they are missing
a symlink between /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 and /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1,
but I'm guessing the mozilla wrappers are more easily fixed.
