Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
Hello,
After upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy the content of one folder and all its
subfolders disappeared in thunderbird. Hopefully I could find the reason. The
problem was that the folder had a "." in its name. The name was "Open Source
Inc." so originally I had two files:
Open Source Inc.
Open Source Inc..msf
And one folder:
Open Source Inc..sbd
After the upgrade two new files were created:
Open Source Incc6bfcd54
Open Source Incc6bfcd54.msf
This lead me to a conclusion that the old thunderbird handled the "." as
a dot and the new one replaced the "." with c6bfcd54 in the file name.
The solution was pretty simple, removing the "." in the old files and
folder names and deleting the newly created files worked like a charm.
Thanks,
Karoly
