[Bug 800857] Re: language packs pull in Firefox on upgrade

[Micah Gersten]

** Description changed:

+ FIX: temporarily remove the depends on Firefox, we'll migrate this to a
+ Breaks in the future so that people get the proper version of their
+ language pack with their version of Firefox
+ 
+ ------------------------------------------
+ 
  "apt-get dist-upgrade" today for natty wants to newly install firefox
  (amongst many other packages) on a server with command line only.  It
  makes no sense to require firefox on a server with no gui.
  
  Looking at the upgrades and then their dependencies, it looks to me like
  the cause of this is a new dependency on firefox-locale-en for language-
  pack-en-base 1:11.04+20110607.
  
  I know I can work around this by just doing "apt-get upgrade" instead
  which is fine for a short while but it will increase the work in keeping
  my servers up to date and, imho, will rule out a future release upgrade.
