Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal



I installed a new system using debootstrap sid.
I installed firefox aka. iceweasel.

I tried to run it.  firefox or iceweasel simply exited with code 1.

I ran strace -f on my new machine and the old one.  Filing the report on
the old one.  Saw weirdness with chrome and greprefs not being found in
strace of new deboostrapped box.

I compared dpkg --get-selections on both boxes...

.. and guessed.

apt-get install fileutils
firefox

AND NOW IT WORKS!

So it seems someone missed a dependency in an install script somewhere.
Why am I always the one to find these kinds of bugs.
