Installing backport of Firefox on woody - dependency problem


Trying to install Mozilla Firefox on Woody, using a backport.

Kernel is 2.4.18, setup was for fileserver + X ... pretty minimal system at present.

Here's the error message I get:

Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
mozilla-firefox: Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.0.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.0.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.0.2) but it is not installable
Depends: libidl0 (>= 0.7.4) but it is not installable
Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.0.1) but it is not installable

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

After adding the backport repository line to the sources.list, did you do:

apt-get update ?

The mozilla/firefox packages are probably still being fixed.

Yes, did apt-get update, & checked sources.... looks like we need to wait for the backport to be fixed.

Thanks anyway! )
