I'm trying to install unity-webapps-preview, so I previously added the PPA :



    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webapps/preview
$ sudo apt-get update


but I get the following error :



    $ sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview

You can't install it because the current unity-webapps-preview package depends on Firefox 14 for some reason (even though it works just fine with 15 and newer) so you'll have to wait for an update to be able to install it.
