Try 'apt-cache search mozilla', that should give you a
list of a bunch of files from package database - the
thing that 'apt-get update' generates. Then pick the
one you're interested in, in this case
mozilla-browser, and 'apt-cache showpkg
mozilla-browser' wiil tell you which versions is
available. You'll probably need to add unstable to
your sources.list to get 1.5. See my reply to your
previous message about the dangers of running mixed
systems though. Consider an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to
testing and then pulling in things like mozilla from
unstable.....
