dselect fails to install mozilla-browser after upgrade to woody
I've successfully upgraded to Woody and am now just trying to install Mozilla and its components. dselect gives the following output and fails to install.

I don't know if I had those installed before the Woody upgrade, but I could find out from old backups if you want to know. However I jotted down all the depends for mozilla-browser and mozilla-psm, and checked out each of them. Interestingly, I didn't see libnsp4 in the list of available packages.

OK, I followed these steps, then did apt-get install mozilla-browser.
Chose "no" to FreeType2 support
Chose "none" for sound daemon's dsp wrapper
(I also tried it one other type answering "yes" and "auto", which didn't work
either and the end part at least of the output looked the same)

One other piece of information - I just realized that debconf has emailed to root the following message each time I attempted to install mozilla-browser. I haven't acted on it, as I'm not sure what it means. At this point should I submit the bug report, wait for it to be fixed in a new version of mozilla-browser, then try again? This wouldn't be too big a deal as I have a working Konqueror in the meantime. =forwarded message Previous mozilla could set LD_PRELOAD for gdkxft with wrapper script, but there are some problems with preloading libgdkxft, so now mozilla will *not* touch LD_PRELOAD value in script. If you still want to use gdkxft, please set up LD_PRELOAD value by your own hand. And now, mozilla does not need gdkxft support for Anti-Aliasing text.

Some new info! cdparanoia DOES work kreatecd DOES work (wasn't configured correctly) grip DOES work (ditto) xcdroast DOESN'T work (as described in the first post) I can't seem to find what xcdroast uses as an audio-reading backend, but this seems to be a problem with either xcdroast or whatever backend it uses. apt-cache showpkg xcdroast showed that it depends on cdda2wav and cdparanoia.

I found that commands in my .bashrc file got executed every time I opened a new konsole, but I have commands I only want to run once when I first log in.
