[Bug 297789] Re: Seamonkey should be updated to 1.1.13

[Tiberiu Cristea]

@Nikola M: of course one can download the source, the question is: will
it compile gracefully? I am sure you're aware of the dependency chains
that have to be satisfied in order to have a stable system. Sometimes
it's just not possible to have a newer version of software X without
updating chains of core dependencies. Actually, this is what the Ubuntu
team is doing every 6 months.

In the case of this package, critical vulnerabilities were not patched
for a significant amount of time because nobody bothered to compile the
newer upstream sources. Of course, the package maintainer is not to
blame, he's probably not getting paid to do it. But while issues like
this are not the core developer's fault, they are Ubuntu's problem.

Please, do not lecture me on the advantages of package management
systems, I am very well aware of them, I am more concerned about the
disadvantages. Also, try to write "Windows", not "windblows", alternate
Linux fanboish spellings make you look bad.

I really hope the fix released for this bug solved the problem.
