System Crasher: I am running Debian <stable Wheezy> and I want to install <icedove> version <esr>

[Tony Thedford]

Setting up to install icedove per your instructions crashes debian..

At the URL http://mozilla.debian.net/ when I select the following:

  I am running Debian stable Wheezy and I want to install icedove 
version esr

And then setup the indicated entry in |/etc/apt/sources.list:|
deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian unstable main

Then run the indicated commands:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install-t unstable icedove

Apt tries to pull in about 500 megs of lots and lots of packages. If yes 
is then given to Apt, the installation will fry the entire 
debian/wheezy-stable installation and the system will no longer boot.

Is there other instructions that need to be added here? I am sure that I 
am not the only one who has damaged their installation by following 
these instructions that you are showing.

Thanks
Tony
