I have iceweasel 3.5.10-1~bpo50-1 installed from lenny-backports. Among
other packages it depends on xulrunner 1.9.1, also installed from
lenny-backports when I installed that version of iceweasel.

When recently I ran aptitude update I discovered that the version of
xulrunner was to be upgraded from 1.9.1.10-1 to 1.9.1.11-1. When
however I ran aptitude upgrade the following message appeared:

WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
/tmp/tmpVrC3qX (press RETURN)xulrunner (1.9.1.10-1) unstable; urgency=high

Due to problems with the version of at least epiphany-gecko and
kazehakase-gecko this backport of does not ship the file
/etc/gre.d/1.9.1.system.conf.

Iceweasel should pick up the new xulrunner version anyway, however should
you need this backport for other packages and depends on that file,
you can
try to:
a) Create such a file somewhere outside of /etc/gre.d/ and set the
MOZ_GRE_CONF pointing to that location.
b) Create such a file in your users ${HOME}/.gre.d directory (which
you most
likely need to create).

The contents of it should look like the following:

[1.9.1.6]
GRE_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1
xulrunner=true
abi=x86_64-gcc3

-- Alexander Reichle-Schmehl <tolimar(a)debian.org> Wed, 30 Jun 2010
09:01:48 +0200
(END)
RESULT=130
(END)

At this point the upgrade aborted, with the result that none of the 28
packages awaiting upgrade were upgraded.

Since I do not use gnome or kazehakase I concluded that I needn't worry
about the issues referred to with respect to these packages. So as
instructed I tried option (a) in that message, creating the conf file in
a different directory and the variable MOZ_GRE_CONF to point to it. I
then ran aptitude upgrade again with the same result: the same message
followed by abortion of the upgrade.

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to solve this
problem, presumably either by telling me what I must do (other than what
I have already done) about the xulrunner problem, or how to avoid
upgrading xulrunner (probably not necessary in my case) but upgrade all
the 27 other packages.

I also have that IW installed from lenny-backports and I also upgraded
but I did not use aptitude, I did
'apt-get -t lenny-backports iceweasel'
and "it" upgraded IW and all the dependencies:

ii xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.11-1~bpo50+1 XUL + XPCOM application runner

I admit I always use apt-get, aptitude just has too many notes, take
away a few and it will be perfect ;-)

Without the 'install'?

I had iceweasel 3.5.10-1~bpo50+1 already installed; what I was trying to
do was upgrade xulrunner from 1.9.1-10-1~bpo50+1 to 1.9.1-11-1~bpo+1.

I finally was able to do so by running command 'aptitude install
xulrunner-1.9.1/lenny-backports', which upgraded xulrunner-1.9.1 and one
of its dependencies. It was important to include the '-1.9.1' in the
package name. I could also have used apt-get instead of aptitude.

I then was able to install all the other pending 26 package upgrades.

Thanks for the tip.

Regards, Ken

I should have mentioned in my previous post that I installed this
xulrunner-1.9.1 upgrade keeping the changes I had made as described in
the first post to this thread: creating the 1.9.1.system.conf file in a
different directory from /etc/gre.d and then creating the variable
MOZ_GRE_CONF to point to it. Although I did not try to install
xulrunner-1.9.1 without these changes, I suspect that in order to
install it these changes were necessary.
