That's for sure and o.k., it doesn't matter if you use original squeeze (stable), stable-security or stable-backport, all this package are named currently stable. So you running 3.0.11-squeeze14, that's from stable-security. > Testing release is not suitable for me. Sure? The current testing releases (10.0.x) will become shortly stable then wheezy will displace. And even then wheezy will be released this versions are outdated. :/ And we even don't have found the time to backport this packages to squeeze, but Mike did. So why not use? The 3.0.11 is more of two years behind! For this version no more updates will come from mozilla, so nobody will work on it. And also for version 3.1.16, available from stable-backport, no more support (except security patches) from mozilla will come and will shortly become end of life. But that version is quite a little bit newer than 3.0.11. At minimum I would use this version. > mozilla.debian.net offers me to install: > 1) 3 version > 2) 3.1 version > 3) esr version. So you have to make a decision, you can use stable-backport for getting 3.1.16 or switch to the nonofficial backports from Mike. For Packages from stable-backports you have to add a new sources.list. For example like this: Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list and fill the following content in. > # Backports repository > deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main > contrib non-free After that run a 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' and the version 3.1.16 will be installed automaticly. Don't be suprised if more than Icedove will be updated, other packages have backports too. But I would suggest to use the packages provided from Mike. The Website from Mike will prepare you a sources.list entry. If you choose "stable (Squeze" + Icedove + esr (esr stands for extended stable release) you will see that you have to append more one line to the example above. Just change/create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list like that: > # Backports repository > deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main > contrib non-free > deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports icedove-esr After that step you also have to run 'apt-get update', you probably will see that a key could not be found so you have to install the keyring from pkg-mozilla. apt-get install pkg-mozilla-archive-keyring && apt-get update Now you can upgrade like described above 'apt-get upgrade'. Today in the morning I wrote something to this to http://wiki.debian.org/Icedove#BackPorts Please test your behavior with the newer version, if it happen too please safe your old profile like cp -a ~/.icedove ~/.icedove.backup and restart Icedove and create a profile. If the error happen also than just install icedove-dbg and make a log of that. Hope that makes it a little bit clearly. -- Regards Carsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
