Need to get 24.6MB of archives. After this operation, 132MB of additional disk space will be used. 24.6 Mb download size!!!! 132 Mb for a firefox installation!!!! I don't know, is it problem of invalid dependencies, or architectural problem, but, I think, it's bug, if I need download and install synaptic and lot of other software I don't need, for use firefox. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- firefox package too lot of dependencies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299232 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
