  Howdy , using SeaMonkey 2.53.9 on the latest Debian bookworm (testing). Suddenly SeaMonkey do not start up anymore. No errors or anything. Starting SeaMonkey under gdb gives the following :

  Waxhead if you start it ina console do you see errors printed?
• 22:01
  IanN_Away
  Waxhead: any changes to the OS between it working and not working?
• 22:01
  njsg
  Waxhead: is seamonkey running?
• 22:01
  njsg
  (although I guess it'd show a popup of some sort in that case...)
• 22:02
  IanN_Away
  Waxhead: did you try a reboot?
• 22:03
  frg_Away
  njsg have some similar problems in my test vm but there the root user had somehow changed permissions in the normal SeaMonkey user profile. So when I start with normal user the profile has unaccassible files.
• 22:04
  Waxhead
  No errors printed in the console

  OS changes, yes peformed a regular apt update+upgrade. I *think* this may be the cause.
• 22:04
  Waxhead
  Seamonkey is NOT running
• 22:05
  Waxhead
  I did NOT try a reboot. SeaMonkey refused to start on a fresh boot.
• 22:06
  IanN_Away
  Waxhead: is SeaMonkey a self build, with the distro or a download from the official website?
• 22:07
  Waxhead
  It is a download from the official website
• 22:12
  IanN_Away
  does using seamonkey --safe-mode or seamonkey --ProfileManager give anything?
• 22:12
  Waxhead
  just a sec...
• 22:12
  Waxhead
  safemode = nothing
• 22:12
  Waxhead
  and the same with profile manager... nothing
• 22:13
  IanN_Away
  what about seamonkey -v
• 22:14
  Waxhead
  Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.53.8.1 .... uh.... I was sure it as 2.53.9 ... let me get the latest one and try
• 22:14
  IanN_Away
  at least it's doing something very basic
• 22:14
  IanN_Away
  does which seamonkey give the location you are expecting for the install?
• 22:15
  Waxhead
  not sure I understand your grammar (I am Norwegian) - try the last sentence once again please?
• 22:15
  IanN_Away
  the comand: which seamonkey
• 22:19
  IanN_Away
  I was just wondering if there was 2 versions of SeaMonkey installed, one as part of the OS and one you have installed locally
• 22:34
  tomman
  IanN_Away: Debian hasn't shipped SeaMonkey (IceApe) for well over a decade IIRC
• 22:35
  tomman
  ..to be more precise, actually it got dropped out of the repos in December 2013
• 22:35
  tomman
  Does anyone out there still makes Debian packages for SeaMonkey?
