The patch doesn't actually fix any problem though. Applying it just updates the addon folder mtime, which tricks the addon manager in to thinking you updated the addon and causes it to refresh the addon metadata in its DB from disk (thus, giving the illusion that you fixed the compatibility problem).
You could have achieved the exact same effect by running "sudo touch /usr/share/xul-ext/gdata-provider" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897156 Title: xul-ext-gdata-provider: Provider for Google Calendar is incompatibilite with Thunderbird 8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightning-extension/+bug/897156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
