I find it extremely disappointing that nobody has attemped a reply to
my question. Maybe I've asked the wrong way, in which case I can
apologize. Or maybe this is the wrong list or maybe everybody is on
holiday (lucky you!).

I find it disturbing that nobody finds a problem in not having a
binary package for the main open source browser in the latest stable
version of an open source operating system.

I would like to troubleshoot why this packages segfaults, but it
doesn't leave any core files, so I wouldn't know where to start.
