Which version of libnspr-dev is this ? None of the ones I have here
have a directory /usr/include/mozilla-firefox/nspr.

Are any of
 /usr/include/mozilla
 /usr/include/mozilla/nspr
 /usr/include/mozilla-firefox
 /usr/include/mozilla-firefox/nspr
 /usr/include/firefox
 /usr/include/firefox/nspr
symlinks on the relevant system ?

Ian.

Sorry, I don't know. It was a developer chroot, and I was in a rush
so I --force-overwrite'd my way out of the situation. Hopefully the
version number above should allow you to find the information you
need.

Right. I think it will be enough, yes. I'll get back to you on Monday.

Thanks,
Ian.

Ian, has this been fixed yet?

firefox-dev no longer contains nspr and nss headers; these are now exclusively in the libnspr-dev and libnss-dev packages (which have the same names as before). So there is no need for a Replaces.
