[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 538796] Re: cannot open Firefox/Chromium/Google Chrome when libmoon is installed

[Evan Martin]

I did some digging.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=49743#c55 summarizes
it, and in particular
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=49743#c46 has the
smoking gun.  I think we want to blacklist old versions of icedtea, and
leave moonlight alone.

Title:
  cannot open Firefox/Chromium/Google Chrome when libmoon is installed

Status in Chromium:
  Invalid
Status in “moon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  after installing Shockwave via mozplugger I deleted pluginreg.dat and tried to boot firefox. as opposed to auto-generating the file, firefox crashes. after running firefox in terminal noticed "user at SDF-1:~$ firefox
  Attempting to load the system libmoon 
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

  proceeded to uninstall moon packages and firefox then behaves as
  intended.

  after doing a clean install I attempted to recreate the bug without
  the presence of other non-default packages and proceeded to install
  moonlight and then deleted pluginreg.dat from firefox to the same
  results.

  I am using the current 3/13/10 daily-build of lucid 64bit
  I apologize for the lack of an apport bug report but it doesn't seem to be working right now.
