The upgrade script needs these changes to be made: - change "mozilla-mplayer" to "gecko-mediaplayer" http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/mozilla-mplayer "NOTE: this software is no longer maintained upstream. Its replacement is gecko-mediaplayer." - at the top of the script, it should auto-detect when dpkg --configure -a is needed, and run it - TODO: how do we detect this condition?
