Package: thunderbird Version: 1:60.8.0-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
This system has gone through the thunderbird->icedove->thunderbird conversions; launching thunderbird with a real .thunderbird profile directory and no .icedove, thunderbird will recreate .icedove as a directory, so that following attempts to run it will fail with a conversion error. If I remove the .icedove directory and replace it with a symlink to .thunderbird, the program will start happily. Thinking it might have been an incomplete conversion, I quit the program, removed the .icedove symlink, renamed .thunderbird to .icedove and restarted the program. Once the conversion was done, I closed the program and verified I had my ".icedove" (formerly .thunderbird) directory and a new .thunderbird symlink. I deleted this symlink and renamed .icedove to .thunderbird: no luck, again .icedove as real dir at the first run and an error at the next. First I though this was #857029 again but it turned out that, for some reason, this profile still had a "prefs.js" which referenced ".icedove": manually editing this file fixed the issue for good. Shouldn't this file be migrated too? -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.0.2-19.03.18.amdgpu (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages thunderbird depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.6.3 ii fontconfig 2.13.1-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.30.0-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.16.0-4 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-4 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.16-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.110-4 ii libevent-2.1-6 2.1.8-stable-4 ii libffi6 3.2.1-9 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-2 ii libfreetype6 2.9.1-3 ii libgcc1 1:9.1.0-10 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-3 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.5-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-3 ii libhunspell-1.7-0 1.7.0-2+b1 ii libicu63 63.2-2 ii libjsoncpp1 1.7.4-3 ii libnspr4 2:4.21-1 ii libnss3 2:3.45-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-6 ii libsqlite3-0 3.29.0-1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-6 ii libstdc++6 9.1.0-10 ii libvpx5 1.7.0-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.7-1 ii libxcb-shm0 1.13.1-2 ii libxcb1 1.13.1-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1+b3 ii psmisc 23.2-1 ii x11-utils 7.7+4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages thunderbird recommends: ii hunspell-en-us [hunspell-dictionary] 1:2018.04.16-1 ii hunspell-it [hunspell-dictionary] 1:6.3.0~rc1-1 ii lightning 1:60.8.0-1 Versions of packages thunderbird suggests: ii apparmor 2.13.3-3 pn fonts-lyx <none> ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.17-5 -- no debconf information
