    Iceweasel reinstall - defect package

    Hey Guys =)
    so i installed Kali yesterday, and i didnt like the Iceweasel browser, so i installed firefox and chromium and uninstalled iceweasel.
    then i decided i don't like gnome-fallback either, and wanted to install gnome 3. I found a nice guide too, and did this:

    Code:
    root@kali:/home/oxymoronist# apt-get install gnome-core kali-defaults kali-root-login desktop-base
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    desktop-base is already the newest version.
    desktop-base set to manually installed.
    gnome-core is already the newest version.
    kali-defaults is already the newest version.
    kali-root-login is already the newest version.
    You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     gnome-core : Depends: iceweasel (>= 10) but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
    root@kali:/home/oxymoronist# apt-get -f install iceweasel
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
      libmozjs22d openjdk-7-jre-lib python-apsw xulrunner-22.0
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
    Suggested packages:
      fonts-oflb-asana-math fonts-mathjax mozplugger
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      iceweasel
    0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 10 not upgraded.
    2 not fully installed or removed.
    Need to get 0 B/2,870 kB of archives.

    desktop-base is already the newest version.
    desktop-base set to manually installed.
    gnome-core is already the newest version.
    kali-defaults is already the newest version.
    kali-root-login is already the newest version.

    root@kali:/home/oxymoronist#
    what else can i try? gnome 3 seems to be installed, but does not work - instead gnome-fallback is running. there comes an error message that gnome3 does not work and instead gnome-fallback is running (i LOVE sentences like these).
    gnome is dependent on Iceweasel, i guess, but iceweasel is defect. so installing Iceweasel should fix the problem, right? but how? apt-get -f install does not work.

    thank you, complAxx
