Hi,
Having upgraded iceweasel, I am no longer able to call firefox or mozilla
from command line any more. I don't mind firefox is called iceweasel or
whatever in Debian, but entirely stopping me from starting firefox is
something I don't feel comfortable.
Please comment.
PS:
$ apt-cache policy iceweasel
iceweasel:
Installed: 3.5.9-2
Candidate: 3.5.9-2
Version table:

$ update-alternatives --display firefox
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for firefox.
$ update-alternatives --display mozilla
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for mozilla.
Hi,
for me works in Squeeze and Sid.
Squeeze:
$ apt-cache policy iceweasel
iceweasel:
Installed: 3.5.9-2
Candidate: 3.5.9-2
Version table:
*** 3.5.9-2 0
500 http://ftp.uk.debian.org squeeze/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
------------------------------------------------
Sid:
$ apt-cache policy iceweasel
iceweasel:
Installed: 3.5.9-3
Candidate: 3.5.9-3
Version table:
*** 3.5.9-3 0
500 http://ftp.uk.debian.org sid/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
------------------------------------------------
And in my case Mozilla is IceApe/SeaMonkey.
This is from Squeeze box:
$ update-alternatives --display mozilla
mozilla - auto mode
link currently points to /usr/bin/iceape
/usr/bin/iceape - priority 99
slave mozilla.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/iceape.1.gz
Current 'best' version is '/usr/bin/iceape'.
