Iceweasel is no more, read the changelog. If you think it should install a symlink, file a bug. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5

I'd say that was a bug. There was a NEWS file, so should have been picked up by apt- listchanges. Anyway, looks like bugs have already been filed. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5

Aside from an advisory a read in the general news a week prior, with no schedule attached, there was no notification. The update itself, listed 'Iceweasel'. > > If you think it should install a symlink, file a bug. There's much more than a symlink involved. The installation happened on two machines: on the laptop, it failed to find the main bookmark menu, and as that was the first update, that went west. I backed up the bookmarks file on the PC, but it found that. Regarding symlinks (multiple), there's nothing to link www-browser, or dochelp, and probably others. I'm still checking. But it definitely doesn't like Liferea, either, even after reinstalling RSS links. Cheers!

There was a NEWS entry, so it should have been picked up by apt- listchanges, but maybe that entry should have been in the iceweasel package instead I'm not sure. Anyway, file bugs, or help writing the release notes so others doesn't get bitten by the same things. Changes like these are part of the joy of using unstable :) -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5

(yet) If you're using Testing, then you shouldn't be beyond fixing a few symlinks. But, certainly a bug. -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:tony@vanderhoff.org Buckinghamshire, England |
