Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-notifier

Hardy livecd daily build 20080407 asks for a restart of Firefox-3.0 like if it was just updated. But it wasn't, it happened just as I ran Firefox from the livecd.

^^ does that file exist for you after you boot up the livecd?

This bug was fixed in the package firefox-3.0 - 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu2

---------------
firefox-3.0 (3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * fix "firefox-3.0 gets removed on dist-upgrade when firefox-3.0 build is
    not available on mirror". We deal with this situation by dropping the
    Break: field from xulrunner-1.9 and adding upper bounds on xulrunner-1.9
    to firefox-3.0 binary.
    - update debian/control

  * fix extension and theme reporting in apport hook. we now list gre,
    app and local extensions/themes separately
    - update debian/apport/firefox-3.0.py

  * fix "update-notifier hint gets installed in postinst even when firefox is
    not running" - LP: #214620. The fix now uses pgrep -x to test more
    accurately for the firefox itsself. Thanks to Colin Watson for the idea.
    We use the same pgrep test in the notifiers DisplayIf: expression as well.
    - update debian/firefox-3.0-restart-required.update-notifier
    - update debian/firefox-3.0.postinst.in
