Bug 449068 – mail-client/thunderbird should `pax-mark m /usr/bin/thunderbird'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Piotr Karbowski (RETIRED) 2012-12-28 17:09:36 UTC]

The ebuild does have pax marking for thunderbird-bin, but not for binary thunderbird, and /usr/bin/thunderbird is symlink to thunderbird not trunderbird-bin. 

Adding 

   pax-mark m "${ED}"/${MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME}/thunderbird

should fix it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge thunderbird on pax-enabled kernel
2. Watch it segfaulting

The segfault is due to your use of jit on a pax-enabled kernel, either way it will be fixed inside jit block.

Thanks for taking care of it.I am well aware of the root case of this segfault, What is also interesing is that we have thunderbird and thunderbird-bin binaries, which are the same.
