• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dirk Salewski 2003-10-22 05:39:37 UTC]

This is just an update to the above-mentioned ebuild. Below is a description of
the bug that is circumvented by it. Please find attached the new ebuild and the
accordingly modified file /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape.

Greetings,

Dirk

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install netscape-flash
2. Open Xterm
3. Type "netscape".
4. Watch it fail.
Actual Results:  
Netscape Navigator 4.x is unable to start as soon as You install netscape-flash.
If started in an Xterm You can see navigator complaining about an invalid
ELF-Header of file "/opt/netscape/plugins/flashplayer.xpt". There is no
graphical output of the program, but occasionally a file ".netscape-lock" is
created that has to be deleted before You can start the next unsuccessful try.

All this happens in the stable distribution (x86).
