Description

[Grace Bush]

build 2000-05-02-08M16 mozilla build only- installer using installer (does not 
happen with regular mozilla*.gz file

./mozilla -installer will launch and migrate profile on first run only
if profiles from previous test exist, ./mozilla will launch profile manager 
allowing for testing

second run with/without an option will generate the following 
message:
error in loading shared libraries: 
/u/gbush/BETA2/502moz/components/libtimer_gtk.so: undefined symbol: 
g_timeout_add_full

some load errors during installation ( I will redo to capture)

We are being bitten by the classic packager-manifest-wasn't-updated problem.  

Grace,
Can you do a diff on the bits installed by the istaller versus those untarred?  
Please attach the diff if it reveals meaningful results.  Thanks.

Bhuvan,
Since this is a profile issue you may help us by verifying that all libs you'll 
link to on unix are in the mozilla/xpinstall/packager/packages-unix manifest.  
Thanks.

samir,

I have added libactivation.so and activation.xpt recently to packages-unix file.
Do I need to add all shared objects that libactivation.so might need ? 

This problem is not reported onother platforms...does that mean those packager 
files already have all required libraries mentioned in the respective packages-* 
files ?

Comment 3

[Jon Granrose]

any file that is in dist that you want to ship has to be in the 
packages-{platform} file.  This includes any files that a file relies on, or 
files that a library is dynamically linked against if they are not already 
listed in the packages-* file.

Basically, any file you add to the build that is required to run has to be in 
the packages file.

Comment 4

[racham]

I have added activation files to the packages-* files under ns (where it 
actually belongs..).

This problem is encountered with mozilla builds only (as per grace's 
comments). There is nothing new I have added on mozilla front from profiles 
side...? Is it possible to find out who is calling this libtimer_gtk.so ?

Comment 5

[Cathleen]

depending on bug 36781
we think due to the crash at the end of linux install, lauching the second time 
might be screwed.

Comment 6

[Samir Gehani]

No.  This has nothing to do with the installer crash.  This has to do with the 
"mozilla -install" flag.  Removing dependency.

The installer crash is completely harmless.  Installation takes place perfectly 
based on XPInstall callback status.  It is a resource/thread issue that causes 
the seg fault on exit.

Since this is related to the "-install" flag I am reassigning to Bhuvan for 
further investigation since it is obviously a packaging issue given Grace's 
original comments.  Bhuvan, please hand off to the appropriate owner if you have 
not implemented the "-install" flag.  Thanks.

Putting on [nsbeta2+] radar for beta2 fix. 

Comment 9

[Grace Bush]

I am not sure if this new behavior is part of this bug or not- installation 
takes place as here- core dump, but now seamonkey does not launch at all.

Comment 10

[Grace Bush]

changed summary line, adding dependency

Comment 11

[racham]

Good to see bug 38603 getting fixed. Bug 37900 (current bug) would have been
related to those missing files in the packages file too. That's my first guess.
If that is right..I am going to close this bug as a dup of 38603.

If not, I will look for the behavioral symptoms to see if the -installer or any
other profile manager functions are failing at any point....

Comment 12

[racham]

I tried installer builds. App failed to load some so files. Samir told me that 
tomorrow's build might be better. I tried to install xpi files from 
ftp://sweetlou/products/client/5.0x/unix/linux/2.2/x86/2000-06-02-08-M16/mozilla
-xpi/. It didn't do any good in launching the browser. I can use the 
regular mozilla.tar.gz without any problems. Mystery continues.....
Will check the status with tomorrow's build. Adding samir to cc list.

Changing priority to P2.

[Samir Gehani]

Grace,
Now that Cathleen et. al. modified the packages manifest, can you redo the diff 
of installed versus tarball?  Posting as an attachment to this bug works well.  
Thanks.

Bhuvan, 
Is your stack or are your symptoms different from what Grace initially reported?    
Also, once Grace attaches the new diff does adding any of these libs help 
eliminate the problem?

Comment 14

[Grace Bush]

using build 2000-06-05-08
Installer finishes after the following two lines on console:
nCl registerring deferred
illegal instruction (core dumped)

Installer itself got to 165/165 of mail installed (end?) when this message 
appeared.

[Samir Gehani]

packages-unix problem: some psmglue related libs were missing.  Taking bug and 
fixing.  Missing from bin in the installed bits were:
(*) libcmt.so
(*) libgtkxtbin.so
(*) libprotocol.so

Comment 18

[Samir Gehani]

Grace, thanks for helping narrow this down.  Now fixed.  Should show up in next 
build.
