Just go ahead and remove Firefox first, then install Iceweasel 5.0. Debian added that conflict for some reason. I'll remove it the next update for Iceweasel for 8.0--I already have done it for the M11 build (the mcr110+2) version, but only have so much free time for big builds like that.

You can also just uninstall what part of vlc is blocking the upgrade, then install the newer vlc. I was not aware the Lenny vlc even worked in MEPIS 8.

it wont install though, i got an error msg saying it is trying to overwrite firefox.... should i do it in konsole and approve the overwriting? its doing the same for vlc when i marked all available upgrades

after doing this, do i switch preference back to stable?





The default Preference is to use stable if using the repositories that ship with it. So change them back after you are finished.
