Hello to all,
I was wandering if there will be the package of firefox 3.6 in the
repositories of karmic?

I give "sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6" and get:
Package firefox-3.6 is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package firefox-3.6 has no installation candidate

I don't want to use the mozilla daily repository but would be nice to
know if the actual package will be available in the default repositories.

thank you

Hello Yannis

> ....karmic?

At present, I work @ Kubuntu Karmic with KDE 4.3.3 and all the latest
package updates, including the latest Firefox version in the
repository: 3.5.7. There is always a certain delay between Firefox
upgrade and the integration of such an upgrade in the repository -
because of system stability.
On the other hand, from the mail of Nigel in this thread, I understand
it is already possible to find Firefox 3.6. in some backport
repository.
So, I see 2 options to get 3.6:
* backport repository installation in the way Nigel explains, or ....
* simply waiting for 3.6. till it comes with the regular updates.
Personally, I prefer waiting for a regular update.
Respectfully yours,
Bas.

yes this are the mozilla daily repository. It installs the 3.6.1 pre-
release (with different name though ). As I wrote on my original
email I don't want to use this repository. thank you for your answer
though
