requirements of firefox-11 contradict provisions of xulrunner



Dear all,

I suspect that this is a known problem, since I already faced it a
couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately it still seems to be not fixed.
So I just would like to ask whether one could bank on this issue being
fixed in the near future.

Here is the problem:
When I'm trying to install the latest default version of `firefox', my
package manager spits an error message:

$nih -y install firefox
Getting a list of installed packages...
Generating an update plan...
    R:1 U:1 A:0
    R:1 U:1 A:1
    R:1 U:1 A:1
/usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner-sdk/lib/libxpcom.so is required but is not
provided by any package
/usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner-sdk/lib/libmozalloc.so is required but is not
provided by any package
/usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner-sdk/lib/libxul.so is required but is not
provided by any package
l: not_found /usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner-sdk/lib/libxpcom.so www/firefox firefox-11.0
l: not_found /usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner-sdk/lib/libmozalloc.so www/firefox
firefox-11.0
l: not_found /usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner-sdk/lib/libxul.so www/firefox firefox-11.0

Looking at what the package xulrunner provides shows that the required
.so-files were moved one directory deeper:

$nih info -9 xulrunner
...
PROVIDES:
    /usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner-sdk/sdk/lib/libmozalloc.so
    /usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner-sdk/sdk/lib/libxpcom.so
    /usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner-sdk/sdk/lib/libxul.so
...

so it is `xulrunner-sdk/sdk/lib/' instead of `xulrunner-sdk/lib/'.

I currently installed firefox36, but unfortunately it does not provide
all the browser capabilities which I need. So I just wanted to know
whether I should wait for the fix of that problem or go for another
browser.

And here is my system information:
$uname -srm
NetBSD 5.1.2 amd64

$nih -V
nih-0.10.0

$cat /usr/pkg/etc/nih/config
...
REPOSITORY='ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/5.1'

Thank you

With kind regards,
Vladimir
