[Bug 360353] [NEW] missing dependencies in hardy, intrepid, janunty

[ami_nakata]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xulrunner-1.9

Hi!

Hardy, Intrepid, and Jaunty appear to have a longstanding missing-
dependencies bug in their xulrunner-1.9 package and its Python-related
XPCOM libraries that cause errors like this one, associated with
Firefox:

"Failed to load XPCOM component:
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.7/components/libpyloader.so"

When the dependency-checking utility run-mozilla.sh is executed against
libpyloader.so it reports being unable to find libxpcom.so, libxul.so,
and  libpyxpcom.so, despite the actual presence of those files on the
system.

I documented this very fully two weeks ago at
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/65595 , and asked for
help filing a bug report, but nobody replied at all.  ( Maybe that
request was too verbose for people to take interest in?  I wanted to be
thorough, but probably included too much info there for people to be
willing to wade through it. )

So I thought I'd better go ahead and file a bug report myself, despite
not really feeling confident-enough in my Linux/Mozilla/Ubuntu/Python
understanding to do so.

This isn't just a problem on my system, btw.  Other users obtain the
same “missing dependencies” result when they execute run-mozilla.sh on
their systems.

Perhaps a triager can reformulate this report into terms that will be
more helpful to a developer?

thanks so much,

- ami
