[MASTER] ubufox cannot install Firefox plugins on Karmic

ALSO CRASHES IN I386

same here. crash.

also crashes in i386 karmic

I have no clue why it happens, but the problem is that something is calling on python to interpret /usr/bin/apturl, which is a shell script..

It seems to be the AptInstaller class in the ubufox package that unconditionally calls python. Since apturl isn't a python program (anymore?), this should probably change.

Same crash when attempting to install adobe flash from firefox.

There is enough information for a developer to start work on this now. Apparently apturl changed from a python script to a shell script and ubufox should be updated to call it properly. Please report any other issues you may find. Thanks!

i have try to install adobe flash plugin with firefox, and apturl crash .....

same circumstance - happened when trying to install adobe flash player

Same thing -- tried installing adobe flash player.

same

Closing apturl task since this needs to be fixed in ubufox.

Just in case it matters:

My crash happened while attempting to install java6-plugin

Crashed for me while trying to install the java iced tea firefox plugin thing.

Crashed trying to install swfdec.

This is on iso dated 20090914.2

---------------
ubufox (0.8~b1-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  New upstream release 0.8b1 fixes:
  * fix: LP: #365965 - installing firefox pulls in ubufox and all gnome depends

    friendlier
    - update debian/control
  * fix LP: #423438 - ubufox can't use apturl on karmic; honour shebang by

    - update content/pluginInstallerService.js
  * fix LP: #403581 - restart required notification and button not shown

    less delay; checking for restart notification every 5 seconds (was 10 before) now
    - update content/updateRestart.js
  * fix LP: #429937 - plugin alternative wizard not available if there is no
    plugin content detected; don't disable "Manage Content Addons" initially;
    the dialog even makes sense if there is plugin content used atm.

  * fix LP: #399229 - update ubufox strings from 9.04 to 9.10 in various places
