Hello,

I am attempting to install iceweasel 4 per your pages at
http://mozilla.debian.net/.  I followed the instructions (with two mods)
for I am running Debian *testing* (Wheezy; aptosid) and I want to install *
iceweasel* version *4.0*.

The first modification to your guidance was that I used w3m instead of GET
since I do not seem to have access to the latter.  (Reference: "$ GET
http://mozilla.debian.net/archive.asc | gpg --import".)  The second mod was
to do all of this as root since I do not maintain a sudoers file on my
debian system (I use su -c or su -l depending on the length of the session).
 (Reference: "gpg --export -a 06C4AE2A | sudo apt-key add -".)

Regardless of my modifications I received the expected output until I ran
the install routine ("apt-get -d install -t squeeze-backports iceweasel").
 There I get the following warning and I abort.

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  libmozjs4d xulrunner-2.0 libmozjs4d-dbg xulrunner-2.0-dbg iceweasel-dbg
iceweasel
Install these packages without verification [y/N]?

I thought that by installing debian-keyring that verification would take
place, would it not?  Did I compromise my keys by installing debian-keyring
alongside debian-archive-keyring (default in aptosid along with
aptosid-archive-keyring).


Thanks,
Duane
