Here it is:


root@werewindle:/home/mhoye# apt-get install mozilla-firefox
Reading Package Lists... Done

dpkg: error processing mozilla-firefox (--configure):

This is uncool. In the update-mozilla-firefox-chrome script, both
regxpcom and, if I comment that out, regchrome also segfaults.

Double-plus-uncool.

Pardon me - this is happening under 2.4.22-xfs (knoppix), running a
frequently-updated Debian Sid on a 686.
