Bug Description
I'm running Breezy-Badger on AMD64 - I noticed that my version of
mozilla-firefox is 1.0.2-0ubuntu5, which is pretty out of date. I checked on
packages.

then:
sh-3.00# apt-get install mozilla-firefox
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
mozilla-firefox is already the newest version.

Description: lightweight web browser based on Mozilla
Firefox is a redesign of the Mozilla browser component, similar to
Galeon, K-Meleon and Camino, but written using the XUL user interface
language and designed to be lightweight and cross-platform.
.
This browser was previously known as Firebird and Phoenix.

Origin: Ubuntu
The cache is trying to pull firefox from the universe, but the version on
packages.ubuntu.org is in pool/main/
the universe at http://
there is no mozilla-firefox package there.
I know I can just probably just apt-get install --reinstall to fix the problem,
but I'm wondering if theres something else wierd going on here that should be
looked into. If this is somehow expected behavior, let me know and I'll go on my
way :) Just trying to keep ubuntu the best distro there be,
Here's my /etc/apt/

also, for what its worth, my mozilla thundebird is the proper version
(1.0.6-0ubuntu4) and is being pulled from main. I also should mention that I
upgraded from hoary via apt-get dist-upgrade last week (at a time when x.org for
amd64 had missing packages - it wasn't a pretty upgrade), so maybe the problem
arose from that?
Please let me know if further information is required.
Thanks
