[ubuntu] [SOLVED] firefox-2 is not available for ubuntu 80.4

oalexandrino

hello,

I've been trying to install firefox-2 under ubuntu 8.04.

but I'm not being able to do that.

take a look below what I get when I try to remove firefox3 and install firefox2

- after I have removed firefox 3, i run the following command

oalexandrino@oalexandrino:/usr/bin$ sudo apt-get install firefox-2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package firefox-2 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-2 has no installation candidate
oalexandrino@oalexandrino:/usr/bin$

what's wrong?

any idea?

Check that you have 'universe' enabled in 'Software Sources'. then do 'sudo apt-get update' && 'sudo apt-get firefox-2'

You have to have 3.0, then add:
sudo aptitude install firefox-2
