[Bug 201938] Re: Conflicts has not been updated for ~b5 (firefox cannot start after xulrunner upgrade)

[linas]

I found a fix for this.  It was some sort of packaging problem, left
over from earlier versions.

The directory /etc/gre.d (gecko rendering engine) contained a config file that specified 
earlier (and inappropriate) xulrunner versions. I discovered this while performing a 
dpkg -P xulrunner xulrunner-1.9 firefox firefox-3.0  (-P is purge-remove, which removes
the config files as well as the binaries/libraries). dpkg reported an error, complaining that
/etc/gre.d was not empty. Upon removing this directory, and reinstalling firefox-3, the
troublesome error message went away, and firefox started working.

I had to manually remove /etc/gre.d/1.9b4.system.conf  -- it was this file that caused
all the problems for me.
