I had mozilla-thunderbird and mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail
held at version 0.5-1 because of bugs #234177 and #234118.
I decided to follow the directions here:
http://www.jwsdot.com/debian/ and purge and reinstall
with the new version (0.5-2).
Here is what happened:

You are pinning the package to an unavailable version (0.5-1), and that is
why it fails to install.
