---------------
firefox-3.0 (3.0.2+build6+nobinonly-0ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * fix LP: #273907 - abrowser does not start: :$pkglibdir/abrowser link
    missing; we introduce the proper link in the firefox-3.0 package
    - update debian/rules
  * fix LP: #269795 - abrowser shouldn't display the EULA; we fix this by
    using brand.properties to determine whether we have official branding or
    not. In turn the about:rights notification only gets displayed when
    official build is running.
    - update debian/patches/lp269656_know_your_rights.patch
  * fix LP: #206191 - Firefox 3 "set as Desktop background" does not work
    properly; we cherry-pick latest upstream patch from bugzilla
    - add debian/patches/bz421977_att334578.patch
    - update debian/patches/series

the other bugs are not the same as this one. This was due to the firefox wrapper looking in the wrong directory; the others are due to the wrapper assuming that $0 is a valid binary name, which breaks for a number of symlinks. Closing this bug again, retargeting the other for ubuntu-8.10 since this is too late for beta.

All these bugs are related to missing symlinks or broken symlinks. When
this bug was fixed (running abrowser/firefox working) see changelog
above. now abrowser-3.0/firefox-3.0 dont work, how do you explain this
being different? you think one fix didnt break another?
