Public bug reported: Installing xul-ext-gdata-provider gives an outdated version of Provider for Google Calendar extension for Thunderbird Lightning, which doesn't work with latest Google API anymore, which makes the package unusable. The package installs v. 0.32 of the extension (as seen in Thunderbird > Tools > Add-ons), which, quoting the author of the extension:
"After a previous announcement, Google has shut down the v1 API today (November 17th) that version 0.32 and 0.25 has been using. This means those versions will no longer work and you MUST upgrade to 1.0.x to continue using the Provider for Google Calendar." And in fact, since yesterday Thunderbird Lightning on my system was unable to communicate with Google Calendar. Today I upgraded to the latest version of Porvider for Google Calendar, and now it works even better than before. The newest version of the extension, currently 1.0.2, is available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google- calendar/ and I would suggest an upgrade of the package's content. I am running Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, but I see Vivid still has the same package version. And I guess a good I idea would be to backport the update to Trusty and Precise, too. Thank you very much!
