On last "upgrade" of amd64 wheezy I found Firefox in place of iceweasel.
OK, except that the single commercial application in my box (Vuescan) now fails to upgrade
francesco@tya64:~/Vuescan$ ./vuescan
gvfs-open: http://www.hamrick.com/upgrade-l64.html: error launching application: Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel" (No such file or directory)
francesco@tya64:~/Vuescan$
I was unable to remedy with a softlink. What to do? Thanks
Here the reply by the developer of Vuescan, who had already let me know
that he never heard of iceweasel:
This isn’t being started from VueScan code – it’s probably
something in a shared library.

Ed Hamrick
so, it seems to be an issue to be resolved within amd64 (Vuescan code works perfectly, it is only the updating that failed)
something in a shared library.

Ed Hamrick

Why would some application be poking at another package's private
internals? It should not be poking in /usr/lib/iceweasel. If it wants
to do anything with iceweasel (or firefox) it should use the binary in /usr/bin to do so.
I don't know who is responsible for gvfs-open trying to do that.

I fear that on the amd64-gnome box my sources list should be amended:

Well I would think something in your gnome settings is doing it.
Did you ever manually answer a question about how to open something and select iceweasel that way?

Wheezy is long gone, given jessie was release well over a year ago now.
Might be worth an upgrade.
