Iceweasel browser was not running properly so I removed it from "Add/Remove Software" with one of the dependency that I can't remember.But when I tried to re-install it using apt-get install iceweasel , it is giving me following error

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package iceweasel 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 'iceweasel' has no installation candidate

How can I install it.

Check your sources.list in /etc/apt/sources.list. Should look something like:


deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free


If it does then just

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install iceweasel

This is WRONG advice. Your sources.list should look like this:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free


Adding anything else WILL BREAK YOUR KALI INSTALL.

Try to:

apt-get purge iceweasel
apt-get install iceweasel
apt-get install -f

Good luck.
