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 ?).

Are you sure ?
The latest (etch) is version 1.5.0.14pre (20080208)
So is mine (etch)
Synaptic shows what I have installed as I have listed above, to be the latest
available versions.
I am trying Mozilla, to see how that works (I haven't used it, I think, since
installing Debian 4.0).

Well, I installed Mozilla, and it disappeared! I cannot find it in the
Applications menu's!
This is frustrating, when installing packages using Synaptic, hides the
packages from use, when the applications do not show in the Applications
menu's.
Surely, with Linux, we should not have to reboot, for an application to
be included in the Application menu's?
I know that I have previously installed applications, and then they are
lost, as they do not appear in the Applications menu's, even after
rebooting.
