I wholly expect that people will want to install third-party firefox packages, maybe even alongside the iceweasel package, and having this symlink in place is going to make that harder. Can iceweasel be modified to look for extensions in /usr/lib/firefox in addition to /usr/lib/iceweasel, so that it gets all the benefits of any untransitioned extensions?

Not sure it would be easily doable. And not sure it would have any interesting effect, since AFAIK, there is no extension that has not transitioned...

This whole issue might be related to the fact that /usr/lib/firefox is a symlink to /usr/lib/iceweasel in the iceweasel package. That was set like this for compatibility purpose: extensions packages still supporting firefox, but installed afterwards, would still work with iceweasel. Unfortunately, that has been abused (not necessarily purposely) by extensions maintainers, that put files in /usr/lib/firefox AND /usr/lib/iceweasel... Extensions that are concerned by the above are: totem-mozilla, mozilla-nukeimage, mozilla-imagezoom, mozilla-bookmarksftp, mozilla-biofox, and firefox-sage. RMs, what should we do about this ? File RC bugs on each of these and/or remove the /usr/lib/firefox symlink ? Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The totem-mozila version was 2.16.4-2. /usr/lib/firefox was a symbolic link to iceweasel directory.

I've solved the problem unninstalling the packages flashplugin-nonfree totem-mozilla and sun-java5-plugin. After this upgrade the iceweasel and installing again flashplugin-nonfree totem-mozilla and sun-java5-plugin. Now all is working. Fabiano.
Bug#404733: dpkg error upgrading iceweasel
Well this is weird. The iceweasel package contains a symlink /usr/lib/firefox -> iceweasel which I would expect to conflict with the many plugins that install under the directory /usr/lib/firefox, as seen here with totem-mozilla. However, on my etch system the upgrade succeeded and /usr/lib/firefox remains a directory.
