Were you using pure64 or gcc-3.4? I was using gcc-3.4 and I had pretty much the same problem. Here's how it went. Most of this happened yesterday. 1. After an apt-get upgrade, thunderbird kept segfaulting on an email my mom sent me, but would start up again and run just fine. 2. Thunderbird segfaulted on a mail in this list and wouldn't start up again. It just segfaulted whenever I tried to run it. 3. I got fed up, changed my sources.list to point to pure64, and ran apt-get update. 4. I ran apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird, and there was a newer version in pure64 than there was in amd64. It wouldn't install, though, because /usr/sbin/update-mozilla-thunderbird-chrome kept segfaulting. I ended up symlinking update-mozilla-thunderbird-chrome to /bin/true and then purging all the thunderbird packages I had. 5. I ran apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird and it went fine. I couldn't install mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail, though, because of the problem you reported. 6. Apt-get update this morning fixed it. Now I have enigmail. I don't know what the state of enigmail in gcc-3.4 is now. I might let pure64 gradually replace gcc-3.4 on my system until such time as gcc 4.0 (the compiler) is released. Since most (all?) of the gcc-3.4 archive is now built with gcc 4.0, I'm getting nervous about stability. -Corey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
