This is the verification work I did from a package management perspective, to verify correctness and consistency in a variety of scenarii:
1) In a fully up-to-date focal VM with enigmail, jsunit and tinyjsd installed, I enabled focal-proposed and updated: - from a terminal with `apt dist-upgrade`, debconf ncurses dialogs were displayed to notify of the removal of tinyjsd and jsunit from the archive - from the GUI (update-manager), debconf GTK dialogs were displayed 2) In a fully up-to-date groovy VM with enigmail installed, I enable groovy-proposed: - if jsunit and tinyjsd had been manually installed from focal-proposed (i.e. they are empty packages), they are not removed - if jsunit and tinyjsd had been manually installed from focal (release), they are removed with the upgrade 3) In a focal chroot without focal-updates, with enigmail, jsunit and tinyjsd installed, I hand-edited /etc/apt/sources.list to upgrade to groovy with groovy-updates and groovy-proposed and verified that jsunit and tinyjsd were being removed as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895643 Title: Backport Thunderbird 78 to 20.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in jsunit source package in Bionic: New Status in thunderbird source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in jsunit source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in thunderbird source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in tinyjsd source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in thunderbird source package in Groovy: Fix Committed Bug description: Upstream Thunderbird version 78.2.2 should be a candidate for backporting to stable Ubuntu releases. I've successfully built 78.2.1 against both with forcing nodejs version (20.04, 18.04) and disabling AV1 support due to too old nasm (18.04). Attaching debdiffs here.
