Hello,
I've been unable to upgrade to the latest version of icedove in bpo
(10.0.12-1~bpo60+1) due to dependency issues. Google has suggested that
other people are not having this problem, so I come here seeking help.
It looks like the newer version of libcairo2 that icedove depends on
conflicts in some way with other gnome packages; aptitude suggests that
I either leave icedove alone, or uninstall almost every gnome-related
package.
Any pointers would be appreciated. Various command outputs follow.
