Opera for debian install doesn't allow opera to load due to an error in the new version. I still think firefox is best, but I do use Opera for testing purposes. Anywayz here is the fix:
Get the .deb from http://www.opera.com/download/
Install it with "dpkg -i opera*"
It's currently missing the operamotifwrapper-3 plugin so install it with "apt-get install libmotif3"
Then redo the back link with:
cd /usr/bin
rm opera
ln -s /usr/lib/opera/8.54*/opera
and you should be golden. Enjoy 
(the *'s are incase you get a different version, so to make sure it works for everyone)

To be clear, this is what you need to do to fix the opera path problem after reinstalling it, or installing it if you are doing that for the first time now::
root@Box:# rm /usr/bin/opera
rm: remove symbolic link `/usr/bin/opera'? y
root@Box:# ln -s /usr/lib/opera/8.54-20060330.6/opera /usr/bin/opera
as Mike notes, replace the exact opera version directory number with the one you have. Why Opera can't get their deb stuff right is beyond me. |

Which .deb of opera are you using?
When I used the debian sid version, I had problems when upgrading xorg. I had to remove opera so apt could finish.
I now use the static version and so far all is ok. |

that opera problem is another one, older, that was caused by an unnecessary opera file in /usr/X11/bin, removing the file allowed dist-upgrade to proceed, and x to upgrade, since x removed that /bin directory and replaced it with a symbolic link. The presence of the opera file in it stops debian from removing bin.
Opera really needs to get their a##es in gear if they want to play in the debian world, otherwise they should just release a zipped package like firefox offers for linux. This is the second significant conflict in debian sid opera, it's getting old. |

Yeah I agree, but it seems to be a problem with the debian version and not the "static" version. No idea why though. |
