[Bug 486079] [NEW] installing libmozjs-dev will remove ... firefox ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-docs xulrunner-1.9.1 and a lot more

[Sander Jonkers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libmozjs-dev

I want to install the development library of SpiderMonkey, which seems
to be libmozjs-dev. However, when I try install that, apt-get warns it
will remove firefox, ubuntu-desktop and a lot of other apps. IMHO that's
a bug.
