These systems have flashplayer-mozilla. I can try
reinstalling that.

Thanks. So now the two systems are more similar.

That is what the squeeze archive gave.

Replacing iceweasel 3.5.16-15 with 12.0-7~bpo60+1 in the
Debian Squeeze repository would simplify the installation
process. Are there any other arguments against this potential
improvement?

@armada:~# wget -O- -q http://mozilla.debian.net/archive.asc | gpg --import

http://mozilla.debian.net/archive.asc locates a key.
"-O -" directs it to stdout and -q quiets the output.
This is a way of providing the required key from the
archive to gpg on the target machine? Thanks. No
hint of it in http://mozilla.debian.net/ .

Regards, ... Peter E.

So now both are using 12.0, that's good but... is still crashing?

What do you mean? Ensure that you're always running the latest Iceweasel
(or Firefox) version available and that's all.

For iceweasel, that page gives 5 choices, 3.5, esr, release, beta, aurora.
I chose aurora and adjusted /etc/sources.list accordingly.

Using apt-get according to the wiki page yields an iceweasel
10 rather than 12 or 13.

peter@dalton:~$ dpkg -l iceweasel | grep ice
ii iceweasel 10.0.5esr-1~bpo60+1 Web browser based on Firefox

Henceforth, if interactive aptitude is used for security updates,
it will remove several packages which must replaced afterwards.
Anyone care to mention a clever procedure for security updates?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

^^^^^^

It seems you Oberon Mail does not like accented characters (or just is
that listened to what I said about Oberon in the other message and now is
reacting against me ;-P)

"3.5" is now deprecated/unssupported, should not be used.
"esr" must point to te enterprise Mozilla versions (extended support¹)
"release" should point to the usual Mozilla release
"beta" is for Mozilla beta
"aurora" is for Mozilla aurora channel (it breaks more often than beta)

Beta and aurora are testing versions. Are you sue you want to use any of
those in your Squeeze?

As I already pointed, esr is for the enterprise version which is now at
10.x so that should be fine. Are you sure you selected the right version?

There shouldn't be any conflicts between the security updates when using
the backports repository... can you please send the output of what you
get when using aptitude interactively? :-?
