Ok, so. Icecat is successfully installed! Thank you everyone who helped.
I truly haven’t encountered such a helpful Linux community before, not to
diss anyone, but you guys have been much more helpful.
Following your advice I:
~$ sudo apt-get install xul-ext-torproxy tor
[sudo] password for localhost5:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package xul-ext-torproxy is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'xul-ext-torproxy' has no installation candidate
Ok so I downloaded it like Legimet said, and:
~$ sudo dpkg -i
/home/localhost5/Downloads/Icecat-31.0/xul-ext-torproxy_2.3_all.deb

Ok, so...
sudo synaptic
“You have one broken package. Please...blablabla”
So I fixed that, then used synaptic to install it, and that worked.
I then downloaded, and tried installing the Icecat packages with sudo dpkg -i
(starting with icecat_31.0+gnu3_amd64.deb) again.

eh...
Then software center opened, (this sometimes happens when I install debs)
and displayed the message below. So I let it run it’s fix, then looked for
Icecat in software center, and found it, so I ran the install. Well that did
it. “shrugs”
Anyway I couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank you so much.
