I see old bugs from 2011 where this problem is claimed to be solved
but I'm getting the problem now on wheezy.

After installing iceweasel, when I try to run it:

,----
| XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so:
| libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
| Couldn't load XPCOM.
`----

Version info:

,----
| aptitude search -F '%p %v' '?installed'|grep xulrunner
| xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.16-16
| xulrunner-10.0 10.0.5esr-1
| xulrunner-dev 10.0.5esr-1
`----

Do I have something installed that should not be? It looks like 2
versions are installed.

Is that message true? I mean:

locate libxpcom.so; locate libxul.so

And then:

ldd /path/to/lib/libxpcom.so

Mmm, that package is from backports/mozilla repo, right?

I have up to 4 different versions of xulrunner installed (1.9, 8, 9 and
10) all of them coming from the "stock" repo.

tal% dpkg -S /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so
xulrunner-10.0: /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so
tal% dpkg -S /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so
xulrunner-10.0: /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so

Something weird with xulrunner-10.0

> | xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.16-16

Purge that, unless you know you need it:
dpkg --purge xulrunner-1.9.1

> | xulrunner-10.0 10.0.5esr-1

I'd purge that, and reinstall it, someone has tampered with it;
otherwise why would /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so be missing.

> | xulrunner-dev 10.0.5esr-1

Why is xulrunner-dev installed? I'd purge that.

No, its false. Both of those are there:

root root 15048 Jun 5 11:45 /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so
root root 20282296 Jun 5 11:45 /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so

ldd /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libx*com.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb773c000)
libxul.so => not found
libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb75bb000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb773d000)

Note that even in that output it says:

libxul.so => not found

I get more output from ldd /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so

(File attached at the end)

Some 73 lines with several occurrences of `not found'. However none of
them refer to libxul.so or libxpcom.so

> Mmm, that package is from backports/mozilla repo, right?

I don't know but the only sources I have in use are these:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

It was not missing but was being reported as missing. Anyway I did
remove and purge:

xulrunner-10.0
iceweasel

>> | xulrunner-dev 10.0.5esr-1
> Why is xulrunner-dev installed? I'd purge that.

And xulrunner-dev

Then reinstalled iceweasel which pulled in xulrunner-10.0.

And now:

iceweasel
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

And still:

ls -l /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libx*
root root 15048 Jun 29 09:52 /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so
root root 20280312 Jun 29 09:52 /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so

So not an ounce of progress... I guess.

FWIW, did you run ldconfig manually after reinstalling the packages?

Yes and then forgot to report on it as I also forgot to include the
output:

Here it is attached so you can flip it open or closed:

Weird!

Were there any suspicious messages during the purge?

JFTR, what does:
root@tal:~# apt-cache policy xulrunner-10.0 show?

I've got:
Installed: 10.0.5esr-2
Candidate: 10.0.5esr-2

Do you remember why/how that package was installed? IOW, have you at any
stage tried to compile a local version?

> Then reinstalled iceweasel which pulled in xulrunner-10.0.

Were there any suspicious messages during the reinstall?
(if not sure, could you wrap the purge and reinstall in a typescript
showing all commands and their output.)

au contraire.

Just for interest, can you do (as root) "updatedb", then "locate
libxul"

And:
apt-cache policy libnss3

Also, does this help?

Mmm, I just have check and also get the same reply but Iceweasel opens
fine here (wheezy) so maybe that's normal.

Weird :-?

Does it happen the same when you launch iceweasel as another user? For
instance: "gksu icewasel"

Yes, that's right. In Squeeze the package comes from the backports while
in wheezy is available under the usual repository.
