kiwix build-depends on xulrunner-dev, which is no longer built by
src:iceweasel. If you use it for libxul or mozilla-plugin, that is
now in iceweasel-dev. If you were using mozilla-js, you may want to
look at src:mozjs24.

We (Vasudev and I) are currently trying to look into this issue.

Do you have a clue how the xulrunner binary got replaced in Debian unstable?

Kiwix gets launches via

xulrunner-<version> $BINARY_DIR/../lib/kiwix/application.ini "$@"





Thanks+Greets,

But I cannot find anything that replaces the xulrunner-<version> executable in unstable at the moment. Any idea??? Or did this transition break kiwix completely (it has been RC buggy for a while, but we were about to get it fixed two weeks before the xulrunner packages got removed from unstable).
