We probably need to provide backports of the firefox 3.0 branch in<br>
dailies to improve the user experience there. How did the package<br>
fail? Is that still the case after todays dailies (check in a few<br>
hours).<br>

<tt>deb <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<tt>firefox </tt><br>
<tt>firefox-gnome-support</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>versions 3.0.13+nobinonly-0ubuntu-0.8.04.1 with
3.5.3~hg20090816r26247+nobinonly-0ubuntu2~umd1~hardy</tt><br>
<br>
when, previously, I tried to go ahead with this update, it failed to
install because there was a conflict with the 3.5 pkgs trying to
install something in the 3.0 packages. (Sorry, I do not recall exactly
which files conflicted).<br>
<br>
It appears the only way I can, now, install firefox 3.5 is if I remove
3.0 and/or replace 3.0 with 3.5.<br>
<br>
The other option I had tried, using<br>
<br>
deb <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu">http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu</a> hardy main<br>
<br>
fails because firefox 3.5 is listed as "installable" (in Synaptic) but
none of the reference files are actually available for hardy.<br>
