iceowl has finally stopped working in debian sid (mozilla sunbird was discontinued upstream a long time ago).
Iceowl still works for me. I run debian testing with some packages cherry picked out of sid and sometimes experimental. At the moment I have
icedove 17.0.5-2 iceowl 1.9-3 iceowl-extension 17.0.5-2 calendar-google-provider 17.0.5-2
have you restarted iceowl since you upgraded to these versions?
Yes, many times. When I did initially install it took a bit of fiddling to get all the needed packages and versions so everything worked. At the time I was pulling the packages from experimental and sid.
i've got all those (and calendar-timezones 17.0.5-2 too).
Yep, I should have included that, it is needed.
it's been dropped for ages. the upstream mozilla sunbird project is dead, and debian seems ambivalent about it.

OTOH, the iceowl package maintainer seems happy enough to keep it as an experimental and unstable only package (i.e. won't be in testing or in the next stable and probably not any future stable release)
Ouch, not what I wanted to hear. I'll have to keep and eye open for a replacement. Geoff
