Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
Every time I want to upgrade Firefox to the latest version, I get a
"broken package" error, or the package manager fails to install an
upgraded version. I have no choice but to completely remove and
reinstall Firefox through package manager. This problem doesn't exist
with any other upgrade, just Firevox. I am currently using Ubuntu 9.10,
but this was also a problem in 9.04.
