Iron Browser 27

An announcement of release for Iron Browser 27 on May 28th.
Just a slight issue or two on Mageia 3 (really, I think with Iron Browser):

Code: Select all

[root@dedanna ~]# urpmi /home/dedanna/Downloads/Iron/iron.rpm
A requested package cannot be installed:
iron-27.0.1500-1.i386 (due to unsatisfied libudev.so.0)
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) n
[root@dedanna ~]# urpmq -i libudev
No package named libudev
[root@dedanna ~]# urpmq --whatprovides libudev.so.0
No package named libudev.so.0
[root@dedanna ~]# urpmq --whatprovides libudev.so.1
libudev1
[root@dedanna ~]# ln -s libudev.so.1 libudev.so.0
[root@dedanna ~]# urpmi /home/dedanna/Downloads/Iron/iron.rpm
A requested package cannot be installed:
iron-27.0.1500-1.i386 (due to unsatisfied libudev.so.0)
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) n

Why, pray tell, would Iron Browser depend on an old version of libudev/libudev-devel, and why, pray tell, is it not working after symlinking libudev.so.1 to libudev.so.0?

[root@dedanna ~]# ln -s libudev.so.1 libudev.so.0

Have you checked that the link was properly created in the appropriate directory? I think that it it should be in /usr/lib/.

Yep. Sorry, I'd already jumped out of the folder just before I posted. *idiot
Here you go:

Code: Select all

[root@dedanna lib]# ls
<snip>
libudev.so.0@
libudev.so.1@
libudev.so.1.1.6*
<snip>
[root@dedanna lib]# urpmi /home/dedanna/Downloads/Iron/iron.rpm
A requested package cannot be installed:
iron-27.0.1500-1.i386 (due to unsatisfied libudev.so.0)
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) n

However, that doesn't answer my question. Why would Iron depend on this? I have a hard time believing that udev could have much to do with a third-party app like Iron, in particular, an old version. It never has before.
