updated my sources.list,
then apt-get install iceweasel,
but when i launch it, it takes 100% cpu for one minute then it segfaults...... any idea ?

segfault on iceweasel too, using dillo atm to browse the web.

I have 64 swap, haven't seen it use nearly half of that at the moment.

[jpmatrix]

in my quest for an advanced browser :

-epiphany (apt-get install epiphany-browser) : this one works!

any way to get the package locales installed?  keep getting locale related errors from perl during installs, just warnings.

I got this behavior with 384M swap.  How much do you think we should have?  Aa far as I know there is no way to add memory to these things.  If that's not true, I'd love to hear how it can be done.

BTW, I also get a segfault with icedove.  These were a big reason I tried to go back to titchy using my backup.  This did not work....  So, I am really interested in fixing these problems.

I tried adding locales packages, with no improvement.  There should be a locale configuration step that seems to be missing.

[scottlfa]

typing- export LC_ALL=C
seems to fix the locale issue, so I am adding it to the profile.

Did a fresh install of Debian EABI, steps work reasonably well ... repo's seem to have some major issue's

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

what does "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "apt-get upgrade" give you ?
It can help to do one of both before installing apps.
