firefox disappeared from etch (?)

[Rainer Dorsch <rdorsch@web.de>]

Hello,

I upgraded from sarge to etch today. Seems that firefox is gone:

topsi:~# apt-get install firefox
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package firefox has no installation candidate

Not sure, what that means. Looks like there is a version in debian.org:

topsi:~# apt-cache showpkg firefox
Package: firefox
Versions:
1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1
(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages)

Reverse Depends:
  sun-java5-plugin,firefox
  mozilla-mplayer,firefox
  flashplugin-nonfree,firefox
  xfig-doc,firefox

I thought maybe firefox is gone because of the trademark/logo/patch issues, 
but there is no iceweasel either:

topsi:~# apt-cache search iceweasel
topsi:~#

I had trouble installing firefox in the first place, because I had a backports 
version of firefox on sarge installed. I removed this version (apt-get remove 
--purge), but I failed installing the new one.

Any hint is welcome.
Thanks
Rainer
