firefox does not install on freshly created feisty

Asked by fim

I've got a freshly installed 64bit Feisty Fawn but I seem unable to get Firefox.

In the adept-installer, all firefox packages are ghosted and in the adept-manager it says "destroy (install)" in red when I select any firefox package.

What's wrong?

Solved my own problem. But maybe its worth telling for other people having the same issue.

The problem was that I had enabled too many install sources. With just the main source adept finds the firefox package alright.

I guess the reason is that in principle the multiverse firefox package was newer but it required the old one to be installed which was not visible because of being older.
