Yes, that looks right - aptitude is my installer-of-choice
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_packages will tell you
all about what packages are at what versions etc. According to that,
the version in etch is still at 2.8.20-7.
aptitude will tell you what version you have installed (type 'v' when
on the package to see if any other versions are available).
Usually aptitude stops you installing incompatible versions though, so
there's something odd going on - where did you get your firefox 3
from?
