271415 - XML parsing error in update rdf files on update.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[David Janes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

The UK version of Firefox contains
https://update.mozilla.org/update/firefox/en-GB.rdf as the update URL. This file
does not exist, and so the auto update will not work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
N/A



This could be a security issue if a critical update is released and no UK users
install it.

[David Janes]

Setting this to critical as this could stop critical security updates reaching
UK users, and it's very easy to fix.

Chase, I see an XML error in the en-GB rdf file. Can you look into this?

Comment 3

[John Mellor (Jomel)]

The same XML parsing error appears in
https://update.mozilla.org/update/firefox/en-US.rdf - specifically the tags
<NC:version>, <NC:severity>, <NC:URL> and <NC:description> are used without
defining the NC prefix.

However I think the actual bug that was reported has been fixed, since the rdf
file does (now) exist.

Hardware -> All, OS -> All
Severity -> Normal as the core issue (the file not existing) was fixed independently, and as a UK user I can verify that I can receive updates fine (whether in Fx1.5 or nightlies).
Updated summary accordingly to cover the XML parsing issue only.

I think its important that the en-GB.rdf file be updated at the same time as en-US (or indeed any other locale).

Mass reassign of open bugs for [e-mail] to [e-mail].
