Code: Select all

ckosloff@papimalo:~$ apt-cache policy iceweasel
iceweasel:
  Installed: 10.0.5esr-1
  Candidate: 10.0.5esr-1
  Package pin: (not found)
  Version table:
     10.0.6esr-1 700
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
 *** 10.0.5esr-1 700
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I think that there is a mismatch in wheezy, definitely a bug in wheezy.

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache policy xulrunner-10.0
(should be 10.0.6esr-1 - hence the mismatch between iceweasel and xulrunner)

According to your apt-cache policy output there is an upgrade available...

Code: Select all

# apt-get dist-upgrade
If that won't upgrade, then likely package holds/pinning are interfering...

Code: Select all

# apt-get install iceweasel=10.0.6esr-1
You also seem to have duplicate sources.

It was all my mistake.
I had iceweasel from experimental in this system, later decided to do only wheezy, while keeping experimental on other machines.
So, on this machine I commented out experimental sources, but forgot to delete the preferences file in /etc/apt/preferences.d.
Once I did, everything went back to normal.
Soooo sorry.
