Hello,
Hopefully someone can help here...
I'm on an R50e Thinkpad with Sarge installed.
I ran an upgrade (note: upgrade not dist-upgrade). Something strange
happened.
The file /etc/debian-release states 4.0 now.
In my /etc/apt/apt.conf I had the following entry:
APT::Default-Release "sarge";
So I didn't think it would do a dist-upgrade... maybe the syntax here is
incorrect? Or I'm doing something wrong?
Anyway.. the upgrade (or whatever it was) finished successfully, however,
now Thunderbird won't start.
It complains now:
****

Icedove is not installed, so what happened here?
Just to see what would happen, I ran a dist-upgrade and received the
following:
*****

Anyone have any idea how I can
1. get thunderbird to run? (or upgrade to Icedove as long as it doesn't
remove the ~/.mozilla-thunderbird) directory)
2. fix the mixed Sarge/Etch system?
Thanks!
