Hello there,
I have for some time kept my Iceweasel installation up to date using the
instructions to be found at http://mozilla.debian.net/
The other day I realised there were also instructions there for updating
Icedove on Wheezy, and I made the mistake of following them.
The trouble is, if you add the indicated repository, you not only get a
newer Icedove, it also pulls in the latest glib (2.36), which in its
turn breaks Gnome 3 (see bug 708185), leaving things in rather a mess.
I now need to work out how to remove the new Icedove and revert my
libraries.
Danger Will Robinson!
