Attempting to use Google Latitude with Google Gears to track by WiFi, the XPI download says: "Google Gears" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Firefox build type (Linux_x86-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem.

Read the bug thread and see that Google Code has a hacked Gears package. But since Google is dropping Gears development for HTML5, Ubuntu should adjust the repository or flush Gears.

This is a limbo legacy bug.
