Error: Breaks existing package "hunspell-en-us" that conflict: "iceweasel". But the "/home/david/Downloads/firefox_firefox_42.0+build2-Oubuntu1_i386.deb" provides it via "gnome-www-browser.iceweasel.www-browser" And the option in GDebi Package Installer is greyed-out - meaning I'm not able to install I will look into other options on the server - at least I can start downloading lots of Firefox's :) David -- “See the sanity of the man!
