Code: Select all

apt install xulrunner-12.0

ahh, you have 2 quick ways of solving the problem:
1- disable temporary the linuxmint repo in the sources.list file (put a # before it), save the file and update and then try to install iceweasel (for sure this time it will without errors)
2- open synaptic, look for libfontconfig1, and now in the menu > package > force version > in the popup window choose 2.9.0 and install it; after that iceweasel should also install without errors.

[gothmog123]

No those methods don't work because libfontconfig1 2.9 is not in the testing repos. I think mozilla.debian.net just screwed up bigtime. Maybe someone should send them an email haha

[zerozero]

There is something strange with this damn packet. It has been breaking my mind for two weeks at least.
According to debian site libfontconfig1 2.9.0 IS in testing AND sid.
But there is only 2.8.0-3 in synaptic (LMDE + testing).
Solve this situation by direct downloading libfontconfig1 and its dependencies from debian testing repo.
After its installatoin also discovered, that gnome 3.4 packets were held somehow because of libfontconfig1 too.

Now there is a trouble with libclutter...
