Problem installing Iceweasel

[Arthur Barlow <arthurbarlow@earthlink.net>]

I've been trying to install Iceweasel with Aptitude, but the same  
thing happens each time.  Even if I purge all the Iceweasel files and  
directories, and then do a reinstall the result is that there is a  
soft link in "/usr/bin/iceweasel" that points to "/lib/iceweasel/ 
iceweasel."  But, when I look in "/lib" there isn't even a  
subdirectory called "iceweasel."  What's going wrong?  My kernel is  
"2.6.26-1-686."  The machine is an older P3 Gateway.
