Iceape




In the last week, Debian etch (4.0) advised me that updates were available, the updates on a particular occasion, being Iceape.

So, being a good linux user, I did the upgrade, to keep my system up to date, and as stable and secure as it can (reasonably) be.

Now when using Iceape, each time any window is closed, such as sending an email message, or, closing a browser window, when more than one Iceape Window is open, it crashes Iceape, and everything open with Iceape, shuts down.

Is it possible to reverse an "update", to get a more stable version of software?

The Help -> About Iceape shows the version/build to be
"Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.13pre) Gecko/20070505 Iceape/1.0.9 (Debian-1.0.12~pre080131b-0etch1)"

Synaptic, in the History, shows:
"Commit Log for Mon Feb 25 12:07:58 2008


Upgraded the following packages:
iceape (1.0.11~pre071022-0etch1) to 1.0.12~pre080131b-0etch1
iceape-browser (1.0.11~pre071022-0etch1) to 1.0.12~pre080131b-0etch1
iceape-calendar (1.0.11~pre071022-0etch1) to 1.0.12~pre080131b-0etch1
iceape-mailnews (1.0.11~pre071022-0etch1) to 1.0.12~pre080131b-0etch1
"

And Iceape is now unstable (should it belong in the version of Debian, named Sid ?).
