** Description changed: - NOTE: After upgrade, you must follow the instructions in - /usr/share/doc/thunderbird/NEWS.Debian.gz if you were affected. The - upload prevents this issue from occurring in the future. + NOTE: In 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu2, a recursive symlink might have been + created. If Thunderbird will not start once you upgrade to 3.0.4 + +nobinonly-0ubuntu3, then run 'ls -ld ~/.*thunderbird*' from a terminal. + If you see .thunderbird in your home directory linked to itself, remove + the .thunderbird link to itself and mv .thunderbird.upstream to + .thunderbird - WORKAROUND: Remove the .thunderbird (not .mozilla-thunderbird) symlink - in your home directory and mv .thunderbird.upstream to .thunderbird - Then create an empty .thunderbird.upstream directory. Thunderbird - should launch after that. + WORKAROUND for 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu2: Remove the .thunderbird (not + .mozilla-thunderbird) symlink in your home directory and mv + .thunderbird.upstream to .thunderbird Then create an empty + .thunderbird.upstream directory. Thunderbird should launch after that. Binary package hint: thunderbird After an update involving a GB language pack, Thunderbird will not launch at all. I've tried the terminal, Alt+F2 and directly from usr/bin with no success. The System Monitor doesn't show any instance of Thunderbird running. DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04
