Dependency mis-configuration in apt: libhunspell-1.3-0

[Zoltan]

When trying to install xulrunner-1.9.2 on Kubuntu 12.04, I hit the following error, I believe xulrunner should be configured to accept and pull in libhunspell-1.3-0:

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. xulrunner-1.9.2 is no longer in the archive from 11.10 on, there should also be nothing in the archive that needs it. Please report any other issues you may find.

xulrunner-2.0 is also not able to be installed on Ubuntu 12.04 by the same reason. It depends on libhunspell-1.2-0 while the libhunspell package installed is 1.3.0.
