Need to get 24.6MB of archives.
After this operation, 132MB of additional disk space will be used.
24.6 Mb download size!!!!
132 Mb for a firefox installation!!!!
I don't know, is it problem of invalid dependencies, or architectural problem, but, I think, it's bug, if I need download and install synaptic and lot of other software I don't need, for use firefox.
