Re: thunderbird upgrade problem

[gustavo halperin <ggh.develop@gmail.com>]

 OK, thank you, that is the problem..

First I down the version of the thunderbird to 1.5.0.4-2bpo1 and 
everythink back to work.

Second, I have some sources in my /etc/apt/sources.list not official, 
but I also have a file /etc/apt/preferences. So maybe I'm using bad the 
"Pin: release" option or some thing else. Can you see the problem ??

The /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this:
   deb http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian/ stable main 
contrib non-free
   deb-src http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian/ stable main 
contrib non-free
   deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free
   #Next are the sources NOT official
   deb http://www.backports.org/backports.org/ sarge-backports main 
contrib non-free
   deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ sarge main
   deb http://pole.poste-agent.orion.education.fr/pub/eclair sarge contrib
And the file /etc/apt/preferences looks like this:
   Package: *
   Pin: release a=security.debian.org
   Pin-Priority: 999
   Package: *
   Pin: release a=mirror.hamakor.org.il
   Pin-Priority: 999
   Package: *
   Pin: release a=sarge-backports
   Pin-Priority: 10
   Package: *
   Pin: release a=www.debian-multimedia.org
   Pin-Priority: 10
   Package: *
   Pin: release a=pole.poste-agent.orion.education.fr/pub/eclair
   Pin-Priority: 10

Thank you,
         Gustavo
