I always thought, that I am able to rebuild every package from source, and I did so many times. Iceweasel on wheezy was the first package from the official debian repository that refused to build. I'm wondering what happened to the build system, so that the iceweasel maintainers were able to build the binary packages, but I was not. Anyway, thanks for your reply. I had not much hope left after six months, and wheezy becoming LTS by that time. Kind Regards, Matthias
