Sarge Update Problem
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:
****

DOUBLE-CLICK: 250 --> -1 THRESHOLD: 8 --> -1
(Gecko:4248): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules

there was an error in the creation of:

You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.

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

Some packages had unmet dependencies. This may mean that you have

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xlibmesa-glu: Depends: xfree86-common but it is not installable
Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual package.
libglu1-mesa: Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual package.

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!
