firefox-i18n: requires firefox=2.0
# firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 2.0, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2006 mozilla.org
What actually is firefox=2.0?
Thanks a lot.

Remove firefox-i18n
Update firefox
Make your own firefox-i18n package using abs (make sure extra is activated in /etc/abs/abs.conf).
# abs
# cd /var/abs/extra/i18n/firwfox-i18n
Edit the PKGBUILD
pkgver=2.0.0.1
It seems the mozilla servers reject the connection when downloading several files. Cut down the array of the used languages. So modify the language line. But you have to use at least two languages otherwise the build fails, too!
For example: _languages=bg,de (of course replace one of them with your language)
Remove ALL md5sums (--> md5sums=() )
# makepkg
# pacman -A firefox-i18n-2.0.0.1-1.pkg.tar.gz
There is the same issue with thunderbird which can be resolved the same way.

Hi!
hightower, is yours a "provisional" solution until the solution via pacman arrives?
Thanks!

It's quick and dirty.
But I expect updated packages for firefox (as it happened for thunderbird) when the maintainers find the necessary time.

adding firefox to the IgnorePkg line in /etc/pacman.conf
will prevent pacman from upgrading firefox and you can update your system with pacman -Syu

OK

The package has been updated, perhaps you have to wait for your mirror to sync.
