Bug Description

Galeon does not open (it sort of tries and then stops trying) ever since the recent security updates (by recent I mean ones issued on 2nd-3rd October 2006). I don't know specifically which package is to blame, but I know I had this happen once a long time ago with a java related package which I installed (I uninstalled it and everything went back to normal).

Thanks for you bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Do you get any message on the command line when you try running it?

Sorry, I should have written my Ubuntu version *blush* - I'm using Breezy.

Just for the record, a rebuilt galeon with some fixes to build with 1.5 does not start (it complains about MOZ_FIVE_HOME being set wrongly, which is a complete bogus message). Building the updated galeon package on dapper works. I am currently tracking down the difference, but it might take a while. In the meantime, please consider using a different browser which is actually supported (Firefox, Epiphany, Konqueror).
