i'm pretty confused about what craigslist has to do with this question.
 can you clarify?

Are you installing the Lightning extension from the debian repositories?
 in debian, the unbranded version is called iceowl-extension.

So you want to make sure that both packages have the same version
numbers, which you can check with:

 dpkg -l icedove iceowl-extension

please ensure that any other calendaring extension is uninstalled (e.g.
in the user's icedove profile).

if you're still having problems with the calendaring extension,
reporting a bug via the debian BTS is the best next step.
