Re: /usr/bin/icecat doesn't take args

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hello,

can you please use the IceCat package available here?

deb http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/debian deltah-icecat universe main
deb-src http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/debian deltah-icecat  universe main

That problem was solved in a new version of the .deb.
