Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0-branding
Hi,
The branding package contains:
eve% ls -l /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox-3.0.png
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Dec 17 23:47 /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox-3.0.png ->
../../lib/firefox-3.0.5/icons/mozicon128.png
This works in most situations; however if you have (let's say) migrated
/usr/share to /home and then symlinked /usr/share to /home/share as I
have you end up with a no firefox icon.
Having a relative symlink means that I need to 'bind' mount /home/share
onto /usr/share (possible, but not as easy to do as a migration above).
It would be nicer if the symlink was 'from the root' and thus it could
work in both situation.
i.e. please change it to:
eve% ls -l /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox-3.0.png
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Dec 17 23:47 /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox-3.0.png
->/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/icons/mozicon128.png
Which works nicely.
Thanks,
Anand

symlink is relative - which means it does not always display
