Bug#643922: iceweasel: XML error on "Show All Bookmarks"

[Martin Hans]

Hi,

thanks. That's the reason. Purging the old package iceweasel-l10n-en-us
resolved the problem.

But I should mention, that my debian system was totally up-to-date
before I wrote the bug report. There where no unsresolved dependencies
or other inconsistencies in the packaging system and the related package
was not set to hold. Iceweasel 6.x itself was no longer installed.
So I never expected that the automatic upgrade from 6.x to 7.x left some 
conflicting packages in my system. In my opinion the language pack should
be dropped automatically during installation of iceweasel 7.x.

Best Regards

Martin
