As Pierre wrote, Conkeror is abandoned, unfortunately. It does not work
with the modern versions of icecat/firefox. I.e., it is not possible to
start conkeror anymore (only conkeror on top of some old icecat/firefox
version could work), so it is (or will be) excluded from all GNU/Linux
distributions.
