I have a Lenovo R61 laptop with Squeeze newly installed. The version of
Icedove installed is 10.0.11-1, which is apparently the latest available in
Squeeze.
When I open Icedove -- or try to -- the main window opens, followed by a
smaller window asking for the password for one of my e-mail accounts. That is
as far as I can get; I cannot enter the password nor cancel entering it. The
only way to close it is to hit the 'X' in the upper right corner of the screen,
whereupon after a few seconds delay I get the window saying that Icedove is not
responding and giving me the choice of continuing with it or terminating it.
As this phenomenon immobilizes the whole computer I have no choice but to
terminate. I also tried opening in safe mode but it made no difference.
Another phenomenon occurs whenever I install packages with apt-get. At the end
of the process lines like the following appear:
-------------------------------------
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
cryptsetup: WARNING: target sda8_crypt has a random key, skipped

Errors were encountered while processing:
initramfs-tools
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
---------------------------------------------------
sda8_crypt is the /tmp directory which is secured with a random key.
The rest I do not understand, except that it indicates to me that whenever I
run apt-get install or dist-upgrade something is not working properly.
All comments, suggestions and help gratefully received.
