Bug#626076: gnome_vfs_unescape_string symbol is exported by /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0

[Gianluigi Tiesi]

Package: libgnomevfs2-0
Followup-For: Bug #626076


I use 'stock' mozilla packages, I have same problem when using thunderbird after selecting
an executable to handle http protocol.
Looks like the symbol is exported by /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0:

sherpya at orion:~$ objdump -T /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0|grep gnome_vfs_unescape_string
00034150 g    DF .text  00000141  Base        gnome_vfs_unescape_string_for_display
00034000 g    DF .text  00000147  Base        gnome_vfs_unescape_string

but firefox and thunderbird have that lib loaded

sherpya at orion:~$ lsof | grep libgnomevfs-2.so.0
firefox-b 3211    sherpya  mem       REG        8,1   372444  282138 /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0.2400.4
thunderbi 4624    sherpya  mem       REG        8,1   372444  282138 /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0.2400.4

so it's a bit strange, but calling thunderbird with LD_PRELOAD apparently solves the problem with
thunderbird

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0 thunderbird

looks like something strange in dlsym
