yep It asked to replace iceweasel with iceape.
I already set rekonq as my default browser in systemsettings (both as user and as root)
I guess there is something to do with two files www-browser and gnome-www-browser in user/bin/ |

| You could try a
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure www-browser
and set rekonq as standard.
But at first, please tell us how did you try to remove iceweasel? And "who" is it, who asked you to replace iceweasel with iceape? |

$ update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

I just wanna remove iceweasel, that's all.
And the damn terminal, that's who, insisted that another browser would be installed despite I already had rekonq.
So I installed chromium and successfully removed iceweasel. And then terminal asked me to install iceweasel in order to remove chromium
Code:
apt-get purge chromium-browser
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
iceweasel libmozjs2d libstartup-notification0 libxcb-event1 xulrunner-1.9.1

The following packages will be REMOVED:
chromium-browser*
The following NEW packages will be installed:
iceweasel libmozjs2d libstartup-notification0 libxcb-event1 xulrunner-1.9.1

Follow ur helps:

There are 2 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/rekonq 40 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 2
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/rekonq to provide /usr/bin/x-www-browser (x-www-browser) in manual mode.
But I'm still unable to remove chromium.
More help please. |

First, what you experience here is that apt-get wants to help you rather then annoy the hell out of you:
You request to remove a browser and a package you have installed needs a browser, so what APT does is installing another browser to satisfy the need the package has so you can keep the package installed.
Why doesn't APT notice that rekonq is a browser you might ask. Thats easy: The package which wants a browser to be installed does request a browser in the wrong way. rekonq says that it is a www-browser (Provides line in the apt-cache show output) and the other browsers like iceweasel, chromium and such are doing this too. The later two also say that they are gnome-www-browsers. Thats done so that an other package like gnome-desktop-environment can depend on a browser which fits well into the gnome desktop - rekonq will not do this obviously and is therefore not a gnome-www-browser. So you either has a package installed which wants a gnome-www-browser or more likely which has a wrong dependency setup in a way that it depends on iceweasel or chromium or whatever instead of depending on www-browser.
Have a look at the output of the following command to see which:
Code:
apt-get purge iceweasel chromium-browser -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 -s
(post it here if you don't understand the output - and run the command as normal user please, no need for root) |

Hi Donkult,
I do have gnome-www-browser and it doesn't list rekonq, understandably. The only two gnome apps I have are network-manager-gnome and gnome-keyring.
I ran the command
Code:
apt-get purge iceweasel chromium-browser -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 -s
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

So I guess java-plugin requires iceweasel (or chromium), right? |

I guess installing konqueror would solve as I laready removed it.
Still, can I add rekonq to the list? |

Iceweasel Provides: gnome-www-browser, www-browser
chromium-browser Provides: chromium-testsuite, gnome-www-browser, www-browser
While rekonq only has Provides: www-browser |

No, you can't add it. You should ask the maintainer of the package to do it - or better even he should check if this long alternative line shouldn't be replaced with a www-browser altogether…
Code:
reportbug sun-java6-plugin
But does this plugin even work with rekonq? |
