I'm glad to see someone has posted this, and quite a while ago at that. It's *still* not fixed; I'm running feisty, and here is the story:
I wanted to install pidgin, the chat software previously known as gaim. Well, it's not in the repositories, go figure, so I compile it from source... no good, I didn't have SSL. Gee, shoulda looked at the ./configure output :) OK, so I apt-get installed both libnspr4-dev and libnss3-dev. Both of these were a problem, because to do so it uninstalled firefox! How great is that? Again, I didn't look carefully, since I just assumed I wouldn't have any issues - all I did was install two dev versions of libs I already had. Anyway, when I went to reinstall firefox, the conflict was clear: The following packages will be REMOVED: libnspr4-dev libnss3-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: firefox libnspr4 libnss3 I'm not good enough to fix these things ubuntu-wide, but maybe someone that is could just make firefox depend on either these libs *or* their -dev versions? I would imagine that the -dev would do the same stuff and more, and this shouldn't be a huge issue. -- Impossible to install libsmjs-dev with firefox present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/57161 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
