    New to Debian and do not understand this:

    I am running Debian Squeeze AMD64 and noticed that Iceweasel is currently at 3.5.8

    Are we vulnerable and should be upgrading to 3.6.3?

    However, apt-get/aptitude update does not returns anything new updates?

    Thank you for keeping us updated! :)

    Would it perhaps be feasible to have the experimental branch on git.debian.org as well, by the way?

    Thanks for giving us those testing packages

    It looks like the latest version of the iceweasel-package (compared to preview1) dropped the symlinks for mozilla-firefox and firefox from /usr/bin. Is that change intentional?

    @Stefan: Looks like it; the changelog explicitly says “Remove firefox and mozilla-firefox links.”

    I noticed this quickly myself, since I normally launch the browser via a metacity hotkey that invokes “firefox”, which works portably across distributions.

    Already reported as bug 576392. :)

    @Josh: Thanks. I had missed that as i was only looking at the >=3.6 changelog entries, now found this packaging change in 3.5.9-1

    Trying to install it, I type (as root):
    gdebi iceweasel_…

    but gdebi crashes and gives me some depracation warnings and that:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “/usr/bin/gdebi”, line 83, in
    if not debi.open(args[0]):
    File “/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/GDebi/GDebiCli.py”, line 86, in open
    if not self._deb.checkDeb():
    File “/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/GDebi/DebPackage.py”, line 368, in checkDeb
    if not self.checkBreaksExistingPackages():

    ‘depversion’ : dep.version}
    TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

    never had that. Any ideas?
    I am using debian/squeeze-amd64.

    what about dpkg -i *.deb as root?

    Don’t forget to have all 3 files:
    iceweasel_3.6.3-1_amd64.deb
    xulrunner-1.9.2_1.9.2.3-2_amd64.deb
    libmozjs3d_1.9.2.3-2_amd64.deb

    “dpkg -i” worked, thank you! I always used gdebi.
