When attempting to do the security updates yesterday (Jan 8, 2010), I am
now experiencing this error.  I tried purging xulrunner-1.9.1, then
getting back the packages I need (using update manager to get desktop-
couch back and apt-get install firefox to get the rest back, but I'm
still getting the same errors.)

sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9.1

This is pretty annoying because I am unable to use Firefox on Ubuntu
now.
