Hi Dale,

thanks for the informations!

I tried Palemoon some time ago. I checked its security and privacy
feature with certain sites on the internet, which provide such
services and found some issues, which I wanted to discuss on their
forum. The answer was not to believe such sites and in result security
would be a matter of how much I believe in a certain software.  My
understanding is, that security is no believe system but a matter of
well done software engineering. Therefore I quit Palemoon and I am no
longer interested in it.

I looked into the linked page and interestingly the solution suggested
is exactlu what makes me headaches now: I have a blocker:

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.

...and apulse is one of it.

How can I get out of it?
