Hi Franco,

I was reading up on pacman again in meantime, and eventually decided I'd
partially clear my cache with `pacman -Sc`

Then decided I'd try a force install, `pacman -S --force inceweasel`

And it worked! Iceweasel starts up fine, all looks good :)


One last question:  (if better to put another thread, plz let me know)

	If one is in doubt about the integrity of their parabola system's
pacman gpg database(s) -> How would one go about verifying
it/double-checking it?


Thanks for all the help!
