firefox-branded problems [Solved]

psilo357 · 2009-07-02 23:04:18

I am trying to install firefox-branded, which is now the 3.5 version. However, I am having quite a few problems.

When i try to just use

yaourt -Sy firefox-branded

it tells me it needs xulrunner>=1.9.1 but won't install it or do anything to it for me. So i went and build this package, also from AUR and installed it. Then, when i try to install firefox-branded again, it still says I do not have it, and if i try to query it using pacman, it also does not show up. It will show up if i add the version number onto the end of it, but otherwise it will not...

so:

yaourt -Q xulrunner

says that it is not installed

yaourt -Q xulrunner-1.9.1

says that it is installed.

Yet if i go to root and install the firefox from in the repositories, it will try to install xulrunner again, and will fail as there are some file conflicts. So i can remove xulrunner1.9.1 and install firefox from the repos just fine, and everything works, anyone have any idea how to get this working? Oh, this is a fresh install by the way.
thanks

Your mirrors seems to update with delay.

I have these enabled:

Server = ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://ftp.otenet.gr/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

Or you are using i686 which does not have the new xulrunner yet...

He says he has x86_64 installed

Maybe those repos haven't updated with the newest xulrunner yet?

xulrunner 1.9.1 for x86 needs recompiling against the new libjpeg lib. Else, jpeg images do not display in Firefox-branded.
Tested with firefox-branded from the unofficial adslgr32 repo.
On my x86_64 virtual machine firefox 3.5 works OK.

Yeah, you were right, the repo i was using was out of date i guess...by a lot too, when i did pacman -Syu, it says everything was up to date, yet when i changed to another repo, not only did i get the new xulrunner, but also 50 other packages...

Thanks for the help all

peace
