Package: apt Version: 0.5.23 I had mozilla-thunderbird and mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail held at version 0.5-1 because of bugs #234177 and #234118. I decided to follow the directions here: http://www.jwsdot.com/debian/ and purge and reinstall with the new version (0.5-2). Here is what happened:sanchezr@miami:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge mozilla-thunderbird mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail
