Hi all !

I noticed this morning that firefox has reached 1.5.0.5. That reminded
me the usual problem... Once firefox is updated in our grimoire, and
then once I cast the spell to get the update, I will have to manually
cast -c epiphany liferea perl-gtk2-mozembed or anything else that links
against firefox librairies (galeon2 for instance).
The first possibility to avoid that pain would be to add some sort of
UP_TRIGGERS, but I remind a conversation I had with Arwed about that. He
told me that the best thing to do would be to get those apps links
against the libraries in /usr/lib/firefox symlink instead
of /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.4. Is there a simple way to achieve this ? I
didn't find anything useful in configure script. Otherwise I thought
that we could 'sed' the pkgconfig files to make the replacement, but I
don't know how to do for firefox-config binary.
Any thought about that ?

Thanks !
