Found this bug report:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656953
But don’t know how to solve it.
- I’m not using the mozilla repo.
A patch was submitted and accepted 4 days ago: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/69983
As I couldn’t find the rpm (?), I branched the package (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=yelp&project=home%3Aplease_try_again), compiled it and published it in my repo. You’ll tell me if it was right (or wrong). Anyway, yelp is working now.
Good.
But it means nothing to me I’m afraid
It means that yelp expects version 2.0 of xulrunner, while version 2.0.1 is installed and because of that could not launch firefox, with the consequence that the help browser for Gnome doesn’t work. I don’t know how long it will take for this package to move from update:test into update. The bug has been fixed but not published yet. Maybe it’s just a matter of hours … or days (?) … or maybe nobody cares because the next version of yelp will be based on webkit.
