Bug#396636: eclipse: workaround

[Giuseppe D'Angelo]

Package: eclipse
Followup-For: Bug #396636

As a simple workaround:

You should install package libxul-dev, which actually provides libgtkembedmoz.so
as a symlink to /usr/lib/libgtkembedmoz.so.0d shipped by libxul0d
(I really don't know if this is a libxul policy violation).

Then start eclipse setting MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to /usr/lib/.
In this way you shouldn't hit this bug.

---

However perhaps that /usr/bin/eclipse is bugged as well, since it
looks for libgtkembedmoz.so in
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
/usr/lib/mozilla/
/usr/lib/firefox/
/usr/lib/xulrunner/
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/
/usr/lib/mozilla/

(as a side note, in the fourth case (xulrunner),
it sets MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to /usr/lib/firefox 
(copy and paste error?)).

However, searching for libgtkembedmoz.so in packages in unstable on x86
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=libgtkembedmoz.so&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386
gives 

usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/icedove/libgtkembedmoz.so		    mail/icedove-dbg
usr/lib/icedove/libgtkembedmoz.so			    mail/icedove
usr/lib/libgtkembedmoz.so				    libdevel/libxul-dev

These three paths are not tested in /usr/bin/eclipse script, and maybe
this bug occurs if eclipse uses an old libgtkembedmoz.so, 
for example one in /usr/lib/firefox or in /usr/lib/mozilla?

Cheers,
