In trying to install firefox-3.6.2 from testing, I get a message saying that there's a dependency conflict with fontconfig-ubuntu, which I installed some time ago in an attempt to improve my screen fonts.
When i check the explicit dependencies for firefox-3.6.2 in testing, I see only desktop-file-utils and xulrunner. When I check the dependencies for those two packages (desktop-file-utils in extra and xulrunner in testing), I still don't see mention of fontconfig.
Is there a way to work around this? I'd rather not undo my font display configuration just to test the current version of firefox, but I would rather use a firefox package for 3.6 than the mozilla.org package.
Thanks for any advice.

better update fontconfig-ubuntu to the latest version. WARNING. you have to rebuild yourself cairo-ubuntu to link against libpng 1.4.0 if you don't do that you'll have a broken system.
better revert to stock and after the upgrade is complete, use *-ubuntu again.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
