Here is the problem:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Targets (3): mime-types-1.0-3 xulrunner-2.0-1 firefox-4.0-1

Total Download Size: 0.00 MB
Total Installed Size: 90.48 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
checking package integrity...
(3/3) checking for file conflicts [######################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
mime-types: /etc/mime.types exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This task depends upon
