Hello Jean-Marc,

I do not find any dependecy to these libs.
Would this incident have been avoided if there had been a dependency ?
for sure.
I re-did tests this morning and on sid, with libgpgme45 and without
libgpgme11t64, it does not work.
Two reasons I think why we have the current situation.
The build process is detecting dynamically which depending libraries are
needed, there has changed a lot in the build system since the inclusion
and adoption of Enigmail into the source of Thunderbird.
Thunderbird has also included support for chat systems like Matrix, IRC
or also XMPP.
Upstream is using vendored versions of needed libraries or subsystems
which we try avoid to use and want to use the packages from Debian
instead. That is sometimes tricky as older stable releases does not
provide the right versions. This ends in lot of differences of the
package build configuration.
And, the users who want or need to use an external replacement for the
included GPG usability is rather small so feedback to issues are also
rather less.
Due this I see your case as a fallout that was simply not detected before.
We will add some logic into the next upload so the needed dependencies
are getting added at build time.
