Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gecko-mediaplayer
Hello, Package gecko-mediaplayer in hardy depends on firefox metapackage, which is pointing to the latest firefox package (currently firefox-3.0). This has a negative impact on users that only want to use firefox-2, and don't want to install firefox-3.0. If they install gecko-mediaplayer, they are forced into installing firefox-3.0 package. TEST CASE: Remove firefox-3.0 package, and install firefox-2 package. Try installing gecko-mediaplayer. It will also install the firefox-3.0 package. This bug has been addressed in the current development branch, by applying the mentioned change. It has been done as a part of update to the new upstream version. Please see bug #229335 [1]. The firefox dependency should be changed to firefox-3.0 | firefox-2. As this is a small change to the packaging, it has no regression potential. In the case of firefox dep, it would look for firefox-3.0 package. In the case of firefox-3.0 | firefox-2, it would still look for firefox-3.0, and in case it is not installed, it would look for firefox-2.
