tal% dpkg -S /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so
xulrunner-10.0: /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so
tal% dpkg -S /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so
xulrunner-10.0: /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so

Something weird with xulrunner-10.0

Purge that, unless you know you need it:
dpkg --purge xulrunner-1.9.1

I'd purge that, and reinstall it, someone has tampered with it;
otherwise why would /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so be missing.

Why is xulrunner-dev installed? I'd purge that.
