Hello Colin,
The reason for this is that Thunderbird has recently been renamed to
Icedove. You need to uninstall Thunderbird and use the name Icedove
instead. The program should be the exact same, the only problem is
that Mozilla has restrictive licenses on their logos and brand name use
and are either requiring Debian to use the non-free images with the
names, or change the names.
I hope that this helps,
Kasimir Gabert
