Help installing Iceweasel [SOLVED]

Post by filimon »

hi guys,

i'm trying to install iceweasel (v 4.0) but i get some error messages.
when using synaptic i get this error message if i try to mark iceweasel for installation
iceweasel:
Depends: xulrunner-2.0 but it is not going to be installed
if i try to first install xulrunner-2.0 i get yet some error messages:
xulrunner-2.0:
Depends: libjpeg62 (>=6b1) but 6b-16.1 is to be installed
Depends: libnss3-1d (>=3.12.9~beta2) but 3.12.8-0ubuntu0.10.10.1 is to be installed
Depends: libsqlite3-0 (>=3.7.3) but 3.7.2-1ubuntu0.1 is to be installed
...and so on.

i'm rather new with mint so i may be missing something. can you please help me with this?

thanks

Isn't iceweasel v4.0 Debian's version of Firefox v4.0?

I know Debian calls it iceweasel...

If you need to manually, download and install Iceweasel and all the required dependencies, they can be found here > http://packages.crunchbanglinux.org/sta ... pool/main/

Even having to install everything for Iceweasel-4.0 manually, they are .deb files so the install is 'painless' and simple.
