trying to upgrade Iceweasel [solved]

[vinoman]

I'm having trouble upgrading Iceaweasel in Debian 8

I used these instructions:
http://codelinks.pachanka.org/post/5502 ... -gpg-error


Could not mark packages:

iceweasel:
Depends: libdbus-1-3 (>=1.9.14) but 1.8.20-0+deb8u1 is to be installed
Depends: libnss3 (>=2:3.19) but 2:3.17.2-1.1+deb8u2 is to be installed
Depends: libstdc++6 (>=5.2) but 4.9.2-10 is to be installed
Depends: libvpx2 (>=1.4.0) but it is not installable

what other dependencies are needed?

How do you upgrade Iceweasel and why does it have an old version to begin with?

Debian uses ESR versions of Iceweasel/Firefox.

Thank you. That upgraded to version 42.

At least those instructions didn't work. and I deleted that line in the sources.list.
