firefox and abrowser metapackages should have same version dependencies

[Hew]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The firefox and abrowser metapackages both depend on firefox-3.0 and the respective branding package, however they do not specify the version. This means that when a new version of Firefox is released, a user who selectively upgrades just the metapackage will end up in a situation where the firefox or abrowser version does not match the actual version provided by firefox-3.0.

They do have the same. Firefox package builds firefox and abrowser the depends are the same ias is everything else except the license of icons and name.

This bug is about the lack of a "same version" dependency for the metapackages. That is, it's currently possible to have firefox 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 installed at the same time as firefox-3.0 3.0.7+nobinonly-0ubuntu2. I don't think this is an intentional situation.

I would expect the firefox 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 metapackage to have the following dependencies:
firefox-3.0 (=3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu2)
firefox-3.0-branding (=3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu2)

I mentioned abrowser only because the situation equally applies there too, not because there is a bug with one but not the other.

This is a bug of low importance, but I still think it's a bug.

This is no more a supported version
