Ok, I tried to update the Firefox on the Knoppix CD to the latest version using
apt-get install -tunstable mozilla-firefoxThis has worked fine in the past, but after downloading and installing the dependencies, KPackage now tells me that the status of mozilla-firefox is "install reinstreq half-installed"

I tried to uninstall mozilla-firefox and start again, but I get the following:
(Reading database ... 114517 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing mozilla-firefox-locale-de-de ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-firefox-locale-de-de.postrm: line 12: update-mozilla-firefox-chrome: command not found

Can anyone help?
