I'm sorry, but it seems like you did this to yourself.
Had you bothered to run and 'apt-cache show iceweasel', you would have seen what was going on. Had you been running aptitude, which has been the preferred and better supported package manager for Debian since the release of Sarge, you would have seen by simply highlighting the iceweasel package that it was being installed because firefox depended on it. I'll say again, you did this to yourself and your initial flame against everyone was highly uncalled for. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
