Hi,

I'm new, and a big ignorant on GNU/Linux, so please take it into account for your explanations.

I would like to install Icedove, but don't know how. Could anyone please explain step by step? Thank you very much in advance!

I tried to install it, but after entering 'sudo apt-get install icedove' I got this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. 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 information may help to resolve the situation:

Icedove is not in Trisquel's repository. Thunderbird is.

Did something change in Trisquel 7? On Trisquel 6, I get a much simpler error saying that icedove has no candidate for installation (it's a virtual package).

Thank you,

And, is there any way to install it?

I think I read somewhere that some Tunderbird add-ons may not be free software, that is whay I wanted to go for Icedove.

sudo apt-get install thunderbird is one way. Or you can use a GUI package manager, like Synaptic.

The Thunderbird in Trisquel should not recommend you non-free stuff. Please alert us if it does however.

There is a bug about the rebranding https://trisquel.info/en/issues/6456
