Sarge Update Problem
Hello,
Hopefully someone can help here...
I'm on an R50e Thinkpad with Sarge installed.
I ran an upgrade (note: upgrade not dist-upgrade). Something strange
happened.
The file /etc/debian-release states 4.0 now.
In my /etc/apt/apt.conf I had the following entry:
APT::Default-Release sarge;
So I didn't think it would do a dist-upgrade... maybe the syntax here is
incorrect? Or I'm doing something wrong?
Anyway.. the upgrade (or whatever it was) finished successfully, however,
now Thunderbird won't start.
It complains now:
selected locale: en-US
DOUBLE-CLICK: 250 -- -1 THRESHOLD: 8 -- -1
(Gecko:4248): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules
were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means
there was an error in the creation of:
'/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.

Icedove is not installed, so what happened here?
Just to see what would happen, I ran a dist-upgrade and received the
following:
*
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree

Some packages had unmet dependencies. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xlibmesa-glu: Depends: xfree86-common but it is not installable
Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual package.
libglu1-mesa: Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual package.

Anyone have any idea how I can
1. get thunderbird to run? (or upgrade to Icedove as long as it doesn't
remove the ~/.mozilla-thunderbird) directory)
2. fix the mixed Sarge/Etch system?
Thanks!
