Re: firefox disappeared from etch (?)
Eric,
thanks for your reply. I forgot to remove the backports
from /etc/apt/preferences, see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/10/msg00862.html
for details.
I cc'ed debian-release, because it might be worth of adding a small comment to
the release notes, I am almost sure that I am not the last user which will
see this...
Thanks,
Rainer
