Bug Description
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'cat /etc/lsb-release' or System -> About Ubuntu.
cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_
DISTRIB_
DISTRIB_
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'dpkg -l PKGNAME | cat' or by checking in Synaptic.
sun-java6-plugin 6-04-2
3) What happened and what you expected to happen.
i already have epiphany-gecko web browser installed, then i install sun-java6-plugin and i expect it to NOT require firefox because i already have a web browser installed. what actually happens is that synaptic forces me to install firefox even though i have epiphany installed.
i filed bug 191586 which is very similar to this... i should have caught this bug when i filed it, but i didn't catch it until now (now that 191586 is fixed i noticed)... i'm not sure what exactly sun-java6-plugin should be depending on? i'm pretty sure it doesn't actually require firefox, but then again it's a binary package and we don't have the source for it. whoever solved 191586 would probably know though.
thanks
