Checking I found iceape-suite in Stable and Sid but no longer in
Squeeze.
When I upgraded to Squeeze iceape came along but it is a mess.
On startup it says a security component is missing and cannot
retrieve emails from some sites. In accessing web pages it
cannot display pdf files and some video formats although if the
files can be downloaded the installed apps - xpdf for example -
can display these files.
I found that icedove can download the emails and iceweasel can
play an flv movie.
Should I abandon the iceape suite in favor of these individual
apps?

Tom -
I'm not going to suggest what to do, only what I have done as an
alternative.
I myself abandoned the Debian-stamp of Firefox (Ice-whatever) in
favor of a direct replacement from Mozilla.
I run a pure Mozilla T-Bird, Firefox, and Sunbird. For me, it's
the easiest way to keep Moz current and I don't have to bother
with the anomalies of IceW from Lenny (I don't know it it carried
over to Squeeze).
If interested; simply grab your cup of tea from Mozilla, extract
it, move the Mozilla parent dir (firefox for example) to /opt.
Again, this is my preference and a presented alternative.
Good luck mate.
Follow-up: (Addition instructions and *some* grammar corrections)
Of course, I have created a launcher pointing to /opt/firefox/firfox
You probably already knew that :)

I decided to give your approach a try. The installation of
Thunderbird went well and on start up it recovered all my saved
emails and my account settings. The Firefox installation has not
been so successful. The program starts, has picked up my bookmarks
but crashes when I try to go to some of my favorite web sites or if
it reaches them it crashes when asked to play a video. There is a
message that the problem might relate to previously opened browers
but I had closed the iceape browser before starting firefox.

What has worked for me in the past is removing the chrome dir when I
used to have failures like that. Re launching Moz recreates the chrome
dir. If that fails - simply allow Moz to create a new dir and copy
over your favs.
And lastly, have a look at removing any plugins (like ad-blocker
(although that one never gave me issues))
