    Man,

    Use a distro easier.

    Linux Mint or Ubuntu has a central program that does everything automatic.

    Debian comes with Iceweasel (modified version of Firefox)

    Download the firefox official website.( .tar.bz2 )


    1. If you have Iceweasel installed, uninstall it:

    Code:
    # apt-get remove iceweasel 
    2. Make sure you have the directory /opt/firefox, if so remove it:

    Code:
    # rm -rf /opt/firefox 
    3. Unzip the file you downloaded, it will create a directory "firefox":

    Code:
    # tar -jxvf firefox-XX.x.tar.bz2 
    4. Move the unzipped directory "firefox" for the / opt directory:

    Code:
    # mv firefox /opt 
    5. Create a symbolic link in / usr / lib to the file executable:

    Code:
    # ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/lib/firefox 
    6. Verify that the installation worked by running the browser on the shell itself:

    Code:
    $ firefox 

    Simple as that! :biggrin:

    The unmet dependencies error can happen randomly on many different components or modules such as libsasl2, libssl, python-wxversion, zlib, libidn, libldap, libkrb, libgssapi, libstdc++, libstdc++-devel and etc, different by each system.

    Although the system suggested resolution for the error is to try to reinstall the affected dependency modules by “apt-get -f install” command to attempt to fix and correct a system with broken dependencies in place, however, many users found that the error happens again, throwing up more unmet dependencies for “first level original” unmet dependencies, causing infinite loop of the error.

    The cause of the issue of unmet dependencies, despite the fact that the modules and all dependencies have been properly installed, is probably due to corrupted package database, and/or some packages weren’t installed properly. Thus, to fix and resolve the problem, try to run one of the following commands:

    or,

    “apt-get clean” clears out the local repository of retrieved package files (i.e. the .deb files). It removes everything but the lock file from /var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/. “apt-get autoclean” clears out the local repository of retrieved package files, but unlike “apt-get clean”, it only removes package files that can no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless.

    After running “apt-get clean” or “apt-get autoclean”, re-run the “apt-get -f install” command in affected modules the show in the error message:

    Finally, try to install the package(s) again. It should be able to install properly now.

    Alternative: It’s possible to delete the dependencies’ package files directly from /var/cache/apt/archives directory. Just search and locate the .deb file which has the same name with the affected module name, and delete the file away. Then, run the “apt-get -f install <module name>” to reinstall the module and fix its broken dependencies. If other packages are affected, delete their .deb files and then install the package again accordingly.

    Is it difficult? install Linux Mint :yes:
