I don't know how chromium does the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting, but it's > very likely to break with future versions of xulrunner... (like if you > remove xulrunner-1.9.1 and install iceweasel 3.6.4 from experimental...) Actually, the whole problem is icedtea6-plugin linking against libxul and libxpcom when it doesn't need to: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libxul.so could be avoided if "debian/icedtea6-plugin/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libxpcom.so could be avoided if "debian/icedtea6-plugin/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). (likewise for a whole bunch of libraries). This also means the fix for bug #574679 (Cced) is wrong.
