Problems installing firefox
Hi,
I'm new to Debian. I installed using the Debian Sarge minimal CD and installed a Desktop system over the Internet. Then I did "apt-get install mozilla-firefox" and I got the following errors:
Unpacking mozilla-firefox (from .../mozilla-firefox_1.0.4-2sarge5_i386.deb) ...
Setting up mozilla-firefox (1.0.4-2sarge5) ...
Updating mozilla-firefox chrome registry.../usr/sbin/update-mozilla-firefox-chrome: line 106: 2069 Aborted firefox-bin -register >/dev/null 2>&1
E: Registration process existed with status: 134
E: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions/installed-extensions.txt still present. Registration might have gone wrong.
mv: cannot stat `/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/defaults.ini': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing mozilla-firefox (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
mozilla-firefox
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The same error (mentioning firefox) keeps appearing whenever I try to install anything, I assume because it keeps trying to configure firefox and fails. When I try to run firefox an error message appears and it exits. I also tried installing thunderbird, and whenever I try to run it it just sits there, seemingly caught in an infinite loop.
Does anyone know what's wrong?
