Yes thanks very much for eclipse 3.4 in karmic.

I have to ask, why does the "eclipse-platform" package depend on the "firefox" package?

Shouldn't it just depend on the "www-browser" virtual package or is there something in firefox that it needs? If it's the latter, then the firefox-3.5 package should probably have "Provides: firefox" or eclipse-platform should depend on "firefox | firefox-3.5" or something.

For a few people at my work, the "firefox-3.5" package is already installed in karmic and apt is trying to install firefox 3.0 too when we run "apt-get install eclipse"

thanks again,
