Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
I installed a fresh karmic during alpha3 when we still had firefox-3.0.
Now we have firefox-3.5, but the firefox-3.0 package is still installed.
This results in duplicate menu entries in the Applications menu and also in the
right-click "Open-With" menu in Nautilus, with one entry being "Firefox Web
Browser", and the other one being "Firefox Web Browser 3.0".
Both entries open the newest version though (3.5.3).
Note that firefox-3.0 is in universe
$ apt-cache policy firefox-3.0
