[Bug 235758] [NEW] apt-get update removes firefox3, gnome user guide, et

[John]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xulrunner-1.9

I'm running ubuntu 8.04.

When I ran apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, this happened:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  epiphany-browser epiphany-gecko firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-gnome-support firefox-gnome-support gnome-user-guide
  ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-docs yelp
The following packages will be upgraded:
  evince gnome-applets gnome-applets-data libeel2-2 libeel2-data libgnomeui-0 libgnomeui-common libnautilus-extension1
  libnspr4-0d libnss3-1d nautilus nautilus-data xserver-xorg-video-intel xulrunner-1.9 xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support


When I tried to re-install firefox and yelp and others to see what happened, I got this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  firefox-3.0: Depends: xulrunner-1.9 (>= 1.9~b5~) but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: xulrunner-1.9 (< 1.9~b6~) but it is not going to be installed
  firefox-3.0-gnome-support: Depends: xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support (>= 1.9~b4~) but it is not going to be installed
  yelp: Depends: xulrunner-1.9 but it is not going to be installed

xulrunner is at:

$ dpkg --list xulrunner-1.9
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
Name                     Version                  Description
+++-========================-========================-================================================================
ii  xulrunner-1.9            1.9~rc1+nobinonly-0ubunt XUL + XPCOM application runner

It doesn't make sense that gnome-user-support and yelp and firefox-3.0
are now not a part of the distribution.  I did add this line to
/etc/apt/sources.list to install acroread:

deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free

but other than that I haven't changed the repository sources.

How can I get firefox, yelp, and the other packages back?
