Running /usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl completed with no ouput.
apt-get install mozilla-browser then produced the same output as before.
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. You
can use FreeType2 support in mozilla instead of gdkxft for Anti-Aliasing.
