Alexander, I have no wish to indulge in a long argument, but I would urge you not to turn aside comments and reports because they come in from strangers.
I bought my first computer in 1982: an Osborne 1A with CP/M 2.2. I have years of experience and comfort at a command line. I am not a developer and definitely do not "do code"; on the other hand, I like to run the absolute latest versions and have the experience to break betas more thoroughly than most beta testers and lots of tolerance for and experience with the resulting breakage. But I felt obliged to report this particular problem, because I had gone as far as I was comfortable with "sudo dpkg -i force-<foo>", but could not install one of the "rc" packages that I was trying to test without risking more generalized system breakage than made sense. BTW, this evening I brought in the latest build of xulrunner-1.9 (1.9~rc2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~fta5~hardy) and am pleased to report that it upgraded without conflict or any other incident (except for a post- install glitch in evolution which depends on yelp which depends on xulrunner-1.9, but that is far too remote from what we are discussing :-) ). Thanks for your comments Bruce -- xulrunner-1.9 accompanying Firefox 3.0RC2 cannot be installed: dependency problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
