    Problem reinstalling l iceweasel browser

    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.
