We're not going to have the same application twice with different names in

The problem remains for seamonkey-enigmail-2.0.13 and
seamonkey-enigmime-2.0.13
They are in the mageia repo because it seems that iceape couldn't be built
with them... and obsolete them !

What kind of upgrade will that do ?
Is a bizza mixing iceape and seamonkey viable (mageia's seamonkey-enigmail
obsoleting mandriva's one... and staying while iceape obsoletes the
seamonkey core rpm)

Sorry I wanted to reply to you other mail but postponed it for too long ):

The only differences between iceape and seamonkey are the names, icons and some documentation references. The enigmail and enigmime packages are only missing because I disabled them. And I did that because AFAIK they do not work at all. If you could actually use features from those packages with seamonkey 2.0.x please tell and I'll re-enable them.

Anyway I hope I can get them to work and enable them soon since enrypted and signed mail is an important feature IMHO. I doubt the "old" packages will cause any problems in the meantime.


Apologizes if my comment is useless and if this is not a true problem...

The real problem is that the enigmail extensions do not work when packaged. At least you reminded me I should take another look at that.
