[Bug 512937] Re: package firefox 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade:

[NoOp]

Experienced the same issue on a karmic to lucid upgrade. The key is the
error msg:

update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/firefox doesn't
exist.

The problem is that the symlink /usr/bin/firefox is missing. In my case
it was probably due to me previously purging firefox in an earlier
version. The workaround for this is to copy the newly installed
ubuntu.firefox symlink file:

$ sudo cp /usr/bin/ubuntu.firefox /usr/bin/firefox

or create a 'firefox' symlink to /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.3/firefox.sh

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.3/firefox.sh /usr/bin/firefox


** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
