Hello, everybody :-)
This is a fresh installation and I am still setting it up.
All seemed to be well until I tried to launch Icedove. A small icon followed
the mouse, no other result.
I purged and reinstalled a couple of times, still no luck. So I purged,
removed some gunk (files an directories) that was still there and installed
the mozilla.debian version of Icedove.
Still the same. This time I thought to keep some of the error messages, where
there were any. They are below, in the order in which I did them: not very
logical I'm afraid.
Before I purge and install from source, possibly/probably with the same
result, can anyone see what the problem is, and how I should resolve it?

Hi Lisi,
I looked, it's probably quite an interesting bug that but probably not
related to the Trinity:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637924
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626812
I tried two solutions:
1. Run icedove with
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/icedove/libxpcom_core.so:/usr/lib/icedove/libxpcom.so
icedove
2. Add to apt sources
deb http://mozilla.debian.net squeeze-backports icedove-esr
and install the 10.0.3, the problem has not already.

That is one of the things I did, installation and error messages above. It

I'll raise this with the Debian Users list, in case they can help. But I have
Icedove running fine on a Squeeze box with LXDE, so if it is a Debian bug it
is recently introduced.
I think that this is a deal breaker, but it is hard to know what to recommend
for the owner.....
I think I'll try purging and installing from source before I give up. Thank
you very much for being so helpful and replying.

No, no - apt source, which I mentioned, contains a newer version of

Installing a new version - ESR (10.0.3) - seems like a good solution. It
has (hopefully) maintained APT source.

The Debian Mozilla team provides various versions of some Mozilla related
packages for use on different Debian systems. The following wizard helps you
to find the packages suitable for your system.
Please note Iceweasel 3.6 is not supported anymore, and you are strongly
advised to update to esr or release. The outdated Icedove release was also
removed in favor of an esr.

You need to add the following entry in /etc/apt/sources.list or a new file
in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/:

Not definitively solved for others though...
Happened this week here on a new Squeeze install. Icedove is critical, I
don't use kmail because it's (T)DE-specific.
It's a Debian bug and an old one, I don't know why it's still a problem.
Apparently is/was also in ubuntu. Mentions with various fixes:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626812
http://aptosid.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=printview&t=1256&am…
http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2011/06/msg00320.html
My fix was install libgnome2-0

I have another interesting finding. The crash occurs only during first
start - if the user does not have its profile in Icedove. Once the
profile has, Icedove is working properly - without LD_PRELOAD.

Thanks, Slávek. :-) It is really kind of you to take so much trouble. I
shall try this now and report back. In theory, it has the profile from the
backup - but I can always rescue the data etc. some other way if I can once
get Icedove working!
