[SOLVED] Latest upgrade changes Iceweasel to Firefox-ESR

The latest update && upgrade this morning held back Iceweasel. So, I ran:

$ sudo apt-get install -f iceweasel

There were (7) other suggested packages in addition to the (7) dependent packages (I did not install the suggested ones).

There were some warnings regarding the new file configuration (pathways) but no errors occurred.

Are the Bunsenlabs' Magnificent Seven comfortable with this web browser switch? I'm okay with it.

Try this:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

iceweasel is now a transitional package and can be safely removed.

Any chance of Icedove reverting to Thunderbird?

Well, I found this article this afternoon. Seems like Icedove will revert to Thunderbird as well.
