Firefox dependencies broken by update

[Ben]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

While updating my system, I was informed that hardy needed to perform a partial update. Doing so removed firefox3b5 and prevented it from being installed again,
Running "sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0" yields
"The following packages have unmet dependencies: firefox-3.0: Depends: xulrunner-1.9 (< 1.9~b6~) but 1.9~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~8.04.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages"

I feel that ubuntu shouldn't have recommended an update to itself that removes its own default web browser, but checking the repositories for additional updates (via Update Manager & all repositories, d/l from Main server) is fruitless.

this has been fixed, and only was a problem if you had ubuntu-proposed repos enabled. That repo is for testing, and can break things. Its there as a testing ground before updates get into ubuntu-updates. If you want ubuntu to be more stable, disable that repo

I have the same thing.
It may be fixed but it isn't fixed. Anyone know what to do?

By using the Synaptic Package manager, one can use the Force Version tool (under "Packages") to set xulrunner back from 1.9rc1 to 1.9b5 or earlier. After doing this, FF3.0 can be reinstalled.
