Description Felix Miata 2006-09-11 17:21:23 UTC 
I installed from 10.2a4 CD set on Friday. Epiphany was not then, included, so from YaST I installed it today. When I attempt to start from Konsole in KDE I get: 
epiphany: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkembedmoz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm unable to replicate in beta 1, are you having this problem still felix?
Comment 2 Felix Miata 2006-10-26 17:28:52 UTC 
Bug 209961 and bug 214992 are giving me a dickens of a time trying to update so that I can find out. The latter is a blocker that looks like it may keep me out of this for some time.
Comment 3 Felix Miata 2006-10-27 15:42:04 UTC 
I still get this in beta1 with epiphany-2.16.1-10.
Comment 4 Andreas Hanke 2006-10-27 18:15:31 UTC 
The epiphany package is broken.

% rpm -q --requires epiphany | grep xulrunner
mozilla-xulrunner181 = 1.8.0.99

But:

% ldd `which epiphany` | grep gtkembedmoz
        libgtkembedmoz.so => /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.8.0.6/libgtkembedmoz.so
% objdump -p `which epiphany` | grep RPATH
  RPATH       /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.8.0.6

=> It has an rpm requirement on xulrunner181, but actually needs xulrunner180 at run-time. Packaging bug.

The dependencies are buggy in a way that causes the wrong xulrunner version to be pulled in.

Workaround: Install mozilla-xulrunner180 manually; Solution: Fix epiphany so that rpm dependencies and actual requirements match.
Comment 5 Andreas Hanke 2006-10-27 20:24:26 UTC 
I found the following in epiphany.spec:

# usedforbuild mozilla-xulrunner180 mozilla-xulrunner180-devel mozilla-xulrunner181

It's serious. You think you're building against *181, but actually it's being built against *180. The result are broken dependencies.

Besides that, seamonkey started providing libgtkembedmoz.so again as well. I recommend reviewing _all_ gecko-related packages for bogus dependencies ASAP.
