[Bug 237518] [NEW] xulrunner-1.9 accompanying Firefox 3.0RC2 cannot be installed: dependency problems

[Bruce Miller]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

running Kubuntu Hardy Heron updated to 20080603

the version of xulrunner-1.9 released with Firefox 3.0RC2
(xulrunner-1.9_1.9~rc2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~fta4~hardy_amd64.deb on my
system) breaks yelp. I have no particular need for yelp and forced the
installation of this version of xulrunner-1.9 with a sudo dpkg -i
deconfigure command.

Cannot simply remove yelp because several applications depend on it:
including gnome-core, epiphany, evolution, grip

Deconfiguring yelp means that I can no longer perform either a "safe"
upgrade nor a "dist-upgrade", because both now insist on removing both
xulrunner-1.9 and firefox 3.0. I can do without yelp, but not without
firefox.

I am not sure whether this bug should be filed against yelp or against
xulrunner-1.9.
