Package: icedove
Version: 38.7.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

I've been fighting to understand why icedove was crashing on me (either
segfaults or with bus error) for both versions 38 and 44, after finally
discovering that Firefox extension foxyproxy 4.5.6 was causing the
crashes

see bug #815000

if the problem cannot be solved (from what I understand after a quick
look at the upstream bug report), that needs to be dealt in the icedove
package to prevent others from having both packages installed alongside

foxyproxy 4.5.6 is already in testing since 31 March, and I fear that
many Debian users who have both programs don't understand at first
glance that the instability comes from this bad interaction

please, add a tag to put xul-ext-foxyproxy-standard in conflict with
icedove (at least with this specific version if you think that it will
be solved in an upcoming release)


Thanks for your understanding
