Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

It seems iceweasel needs a versioned dependency in xulrunner. In version 3.5.5 iceweasel segfaults due to missing symbols
if an older xulrunner is installed, with happens if you use 'apt-get upgrade' instead of 'dist-upgrade' as 
xulrunner depends on a newer libreadline.

Updating xulrunner to version 1.9.1.5-1 solved the problem.

Thanks
