Package firefox is not installed.

It would be nice if the debian package would also support Debian installation:

$ sudo dpkg -i evoluspencil_2.0.3_all.deb
Selecting previously deselected package evoluspencil.
(Reading database ... 388406 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking evoluspencil (from evoluspencil_2.0.3_all.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of evoluspencil:
 evoluspencil depends on firefox; however:
  Package firefox is not installed.
dpkg: error processing evoluspencil (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
Processing triggers for gnome-menus ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 evoluspencil

I believe:

$ dpkg -I evoluspencil_2.0.3_all.deb | grep fire 
 Depends: firefox

should looks like:

$ dpkg -I evoluspencil_2.0.3_all.deb | grep fire 
 Depends: firefox | iceweasel

Thanks !

You can also install pencil from the rpm file via alien...

> sudo apt-get install alien --no-install-recommends
> sudo alien -i pencil-2.0.3-1.fc17.noarch.rpm

Then open /usr/bin/pencil as root and replace /usr/bin/xulrunner with 
/usr/bin/iceweasel . Cheers.

Hello,

I have been able to install it on Debian with dpkg by ignoring dependencies:
> dpkg -i --force-depends evoluspencil_2.0.5_all.deb. 

It installs and works ok but then anytime I want to update any other software, 
apt-get and such tools want to uninstall it first.

regards
