When I use Firefox to view a site that uses java. Firefox gives me an
option to install 'icedtea-gcjwebplugin'. The installation stops with an
error to do with unresolved dependencies. Should Firefox use
'icedtea6-plugin' to install rather than  'icedtea-gcjwebplugin' ?

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

icedtea-gcjwebplugin _conflicts_ with icedtea6-plugin, even though it's supposed to be a transitional package. Please thus replace icedtea-gcjwebplugin with icedtea6-plugin in gnome-app-install.

An alternative would be fixing icedtea-gcjwebplugin to install icedtea6-plugin correctly.
