Description Rafał Miłecki 2007-05-05 11:37:47 UTC

Everytime I open page with Flash animation my Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 crashes. It looks like that:
zajec@acer:~> firefox
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /opt/gnome/lib/mozilla/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so: undefined symbol: swfdec_gtk_player_new

I installed swfdec from RPM from packmans repository: 
rpm -qa | grep swfdec
swfdec-browser-plugin-0.4.4-0.pm.1
swfdec-0.4.4-0.pm.1

My OS is openSUSE 10.2.

Is there anything I could make to give you more info? Do you even need more info?

Looks like 0.4.5 is available in that repository since 12-Jun-2007
(http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.2/i586/)

Could you try it and see if this dependency problem is still there ?

All in all, it is not an upstream problem, but a packaging problem

Comment 2 Rafał Miłecki 2007-06-24 01:28:45 UTC

Updated swfdec and tried again:

zajec@acer:~> rpm -qa | grep 'swf'
libswfdec2-0.4.5-0.pm.1
swfdec-browser-plugin-0.4.5-0.pm.1
zajec@acer:~> firefox http://onet.pl/
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /opt/gnome/lib/mozilla/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so: undefined symbol: swfdec_gtk_player_new

Does it mean it's problem made by packager of this RPM? Should I report this to packman's team?

Comment 3 Benjamin Otte 2007-07-11 07:56:11 UTC

This seems to be an issue with the Mozilla plugin not properly being linked against libswfdec-gtk.
The symbol you're missing should be provided by /usr/lib/libswfdec-gtk-0.4.so - but I have no clue what package provides this file on Suse.

You should complain to your packager.
