ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable collides with kubuntu-firefox-installer

[Jan-Philip Gehrcke]

On my 10.04 64bit I installed Firefox 5 using

add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
apt-get update
apt-get install firefox

and then I invoked

apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

During this, the following error appeared:

Errors were encoutered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/kubuntu-firefox-installer_10.04ubuntu8_amd64.deb

It seems like my installed Firefox package is not marked to replace kubuntu-firefox-installer. Is that the same problem as was here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/717666 ?

Cheers,

This also belongs to the error, of course (although not very conclusive):

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Just another detail; now it should be complete:

package kubuntu-firefox-installer (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop', which is also in package firefox 0:5.0 build1 nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfs1

So it is definitely the same as 717666
