[Trisquel-users] Re : I've been constantly being disconnected from services such as Thunderbird and Pidgin.

Then, you do not use a PPA. Trisquel only ships security fixes and critical  
bug corrections in its upgrades. You would not get new versions of the  
programs until you switch to the next version of the distribution. The Web  
browser is an exception (the only one as far as I know) to the previous rule:  
latest versions are shipped with the Trisquel upgrades.
