Need to get 116MB of archives. After unpacking 136MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? This can only be a bad joke. I don't see a reason why to download "gimp- help-common" or "openoffice.org-draw" when I want to install Firefox. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox install on Kubuntu 8.04 wants to download 116 MB of archives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218831 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
