solved - 8.04 - Uninstalled Firefox, ... can't install Sun-Java6-plugin now.
Hi, ****( solved ) I used Ubuntu tweak to add the Firefox testing repository, that allowed an installation of FF and therefore an installation of the Java6 plugin.
Something went wrong with my Firefox, I could not set the homepage (always blank), it would not open to last session, just blank page and if I clicked a link in Thunderbird, FF would open up with a blank page as well. Enough of that had been had so I uninstalled it via synaptic. I installed Swiftweasel - an unbranded tweaked FF (it is like Swiftfox). IT works great, but when I uninstalled FF through synaptic it took the "Sun-Java6-plugin" with it. I thought that would be no big deal because I would just reinstall it. Doesn't work that way.
I get this synaptic error:
"sun-java6-plugin:
Depends: sun-java6-bin (=6-06-0ubuntu1) but 6-07-3ubuntu2 is to be installed".
Well, I thought, no problem I will just reinstall FF through synaptic and then I can reinstall the Java plugin (all of this just so that I can have Java working with Swiftweasel, the only browser I REALLY want installed).
Nope.
There are a slew of things that have to be removed in order to just install FF from the synaptic repo, one of which is "ubuntu-desktop" and I know better than to remove that.
Can you help ?
