Package: thunderbird Version: 1:68.8.0-1~deb10u1 Severity: important Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? In a system we had "export DEBUG=1" (not related to Thunderbird, for other reasons) * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? After investigating reading /usr/bin/thunderbird : "unset DEBUG" fixed the problem * What was the outcome of this action? Exporting DEBUG=1 makes "thunderbird" launcher to not launch Thunderbird (and to not say anything) * What outcome did you expect instead? Thunderbird to work, and if it doesn't work should indicate why not. * Possible solutions: -In the beginning of /usr/bin/thunderbird: perhaps do "unset DEBUG DEBUGGER" (and other variables?) -Perhaps rename all the variables into THUNDERBIRD_DEBUGGER, THUNDERBIRD_DEBUG, THUNDERBIRD_SHOW_BACKUP, etc. to avoid "generic names" to conflict? -At the end of the file if ${DEBUG} == 1 but ${DEBUGGER} == "": it exits the launcher without launching and without saying anything: say something? (it would have solved the problem but it would have been easier to fix it) -Assume that this was a user problem and we should not have had DEBUG=1 set everywhere :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=ca_ES.UTF-8 (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 4.8.6.1 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+deb10u1 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-2+deb10u2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.5-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-3 ii libjsoncpp1 1.7.4-3 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-7~deb10u1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-6 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 ii libvpx5 1.7.0-3+deb10u1 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-ca [hunspell-dictionary] 3.0.3+repack1-1 ii hunspell-en-gb [hunspell-dictionary] 1:6.2.0-1 ii hunspell-en-us [hunspell-dictionary] 1:2018.04.16-1 ii hunspell-es [hunspell-dictionary] 1:6.2.0-1 ii lightning 1:68.8.0-1~deb10u1 Versions of packages thunderbird suggests: ii apparmor 2.13.2-10 ii fonts-lyx 2.3.2-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.17-3 -- no debconf information
