Public bug reported: Binary package hint: thunderbird
Thunderbird 3.0.7+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 fails to look in /usr/lib/thunderbird for configuration files. It now only looks in /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.7. This is in direct conflict with /etc/thunderbird/pref/thunderbird.js, which says: """ // You can, with this file and all files present in the // /etc/thunderbird/pref directory, override any preference that is // present in /usr/lib/thunderbird/defaults/pref directory. """ For our site configuration, we set a new value for general.config.filename, and store that file in /usr/lib/thunderbird. This worked fine in Jaunty and Karmic. However, under Lucid, this causes Thunderbird to unfortunately exit with "Failed to read the configuration file", since it's looking for our config file in /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.7. If this is the new upstream behavior, that's fine, but then the comments in /etc/thunderbird/pref/thunderbird.js need to be updated to replace this. Additionally, it would be nice if there was some way to programmatically determine the name of that directory that was something other than "dpkg-query and sed". ** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Thunderbird no longer checks /usr/lib/thunderbird for default preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
