The last time I upgraded ubuntu 7.10, apparently there was an update
for firefox-3.0, but it wouldn't let me have it because of something
called xulrunner, which apparently depended on something called yelp,
which I guess is a help browser. I eventually wound up removing yelp
so I could get the firefox-3.0 upgrade; that meant I removed the following
packages as well:
gnome-user-guide gnucash-docs ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-docs
Now I don't know what all these do, but "apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop"
suggests that it *not* be removed. When I try to add them back, apt-get
says fine, but I'm removing firefox-3.0!
Come on, this can't really be this way. Anyone know what to do
about this?
