I´m mostly installing from the full installer, and sometimes talkback isn´t installed (missing from the components directory), though I specified full install. Sometimes loading talkback.xpi did help. Latest builds missing talkback: 2003102504, 2003102104, 2003100404. comparing a working (254k) and a corrupt (1k) xpi, I found: The working one consists of a file install.js and a folder named bin, containing a folder named components, containing 5 files with current date and 4 files including talkback.exe with older dates. Seems to be the reason I couldn´t install yesterdays working talkback.xpi instead of todays corrupted talkback.xpi in todays browser. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Seems to be a major feature as 1.6a should be delivered with talkback. As this bug happens more often the last weeks, I´m not sure if it is known. (found no entries in General nor Build/Build Config/build-config)

Is this a mozilla.org server issue? Or a packaging one?

Any relation to bug 218898?

Seems that this is a dupe of bug 218898, but here is the info, it is version trunk, that one is version 1.4, but should be fixed too in 1.4.2 http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4.1/windows-xpi/ also shows a 1 kb XPI, that writes to the install log only: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4.1/windows-xpi/talkback.xpi -- 10/25/2003 00:39:46 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quality Feedback Agent (version 6.5.0.2001012623) ---------------------- ** Talkback place holder .xpi for the real thing. Install completed successfully -- 10/25/2003 00:39:47 functions in the install.js, the only file contained in talkback.xpi: // this function verifies disk space in kilobytes function verifyDiskSpace(dirPath, spaceRequired) ..... // this function deletes a file if it exists function deleteThisFile(dirKey, file) ..... // this function deletes a folder if it exists function deleteThisFolder(dirKey, folder, recursiveDelete) { ..... // OS type detection // which platform? function getPlatform() ..... // main var err; err = initInstall("Quality Feedback Agent", "Quality Feedback Agent", "6.5.0.2001012623"); logComment("Talkback place holder .xpi for the real thing."); cancelInstall(err); // end main

See leaf's comment in bug 218898... the status of talkback is uncertain for the time being... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 218898 ***

Just sent reports to talkback.mozilla.org/spiral-bin/Collector.dll, it is working since some days, if talkback is included in the build.
