Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
Or very, very weird :)
With Kubuntu Jaunty with Firefox 3 already installed, installing Firefox 3.5 gets
The following NEW packages will be installed
apturl firefox-3.5 firefox-
libglib-perl libgnome2-
libgtk2-perl libgtkhtml2-0 libvte-common libvte9 python-gst0.10
python-gtkhtml2 python-
software-
Surely not all of these are needed? Like synaptic, for example...
Interesting twist on this bug is that Firefox 3.5 recommends Firefox 3.0 through ubufox since ubufox on Jaunty won't work with FF3.5
WORKAROUND:
sudo apt-get --no-install-

Problem is ubufox, not FF3.5
ubufox depends on apturl and apturl depends on synaptic
The question is, is this necessary?
