Package: thunderbird Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I store my profiles under $HOME/Archives/.thunderbird with a symlink to $HOME/.thunderbird to allow easier backup. I recently have had an apparmor error, with a denial to lock the .parentlock file. This results in thunderbird/icedove unable to start since no profile can ever be locked. Creation of the .parentlock file is ok, but I suppose this is because write permissions are give on the subdirectory from $Home. I don't know why I did not have that before, since the apparmor profile is not really new. Switching to the upstream version locally installed in /opt results in correct operation. A good way to reproduce would be either create a new profile outise of ~/.thunderbird or to move the entire ~/.thunderbird directory to another directory (e.g., /tmp/thunderbird) and symlink it back to ~/.thunderbird. All the best, David. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages thunderbird depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.3 ii fontconfig 2.12.3-0.2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libc6 2.24-17 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.15.8-2 ii libcairo2 1.15.8-2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.2-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-3 ii libevent-2.1-6 2.1.8-stable-4 ii libffi6 3.2.1-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.12.3-0.2 ii libfreetype6 2.8.1-0.1 ii libgcc1 1:7.2.0-16 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.11-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.2-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.26-1 ii libhunspell-1.6-0 1.6.2-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.13-2 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.13-2 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.13-2 ii libpixman-1-0 0.34.0-1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-4+b2 ii libstdc++6 7.2.0-16 ii libvpx4 1.6.1-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxcb-shm0 1.12-1 ii libxcb1 1.12-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii psmisc 23.1-1 ii x11-utils 7.7+3+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages thunderbird recommends: ii hunspell-en-us [hunspell-dictionary] 1:2017.08.24 pn lightning <none> ii myspell-fr-gut [myspell-dictionary] 1:1.0-32 Versions of packages thunderbird suggests: ii apparmor 2.11.1-3 ii fonts-lyx 2.2.3-2 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.15.2-2
