Package: thunderbird Version: 1:45.7.1-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
thanks for bringing back the unbranded thunderbird. However, I'm rather unhappy with the currect state of the migration from the old ~/.icedove/ profile to the new ~/.thunderbird/ profile. My ~/.icedove/ profile is about 3.5 GB in size. i have no desire to have a *copy* of that directory lying around on my harddisk. one reason are the security implications. another reason is, that it takes ages. it would be *very* helpful if the popup that informs me of the migration, would have an option to [Cancel] the operation (the current state reminds me of those famous w32 dialogs: "Do you really want to destroy the world? [OK]"). it's obviously easy to just Ctrl-C the process when starting thunderbird from the cmdline, but it's hard to stop when starting via a GUI launcher. of course i first killed the dialog window, but that was *only* the dialog window and killing it would immediately start the copy process. somewhat contradictory, i also would like to be able to use my old ~/.icedove/ directory around, as my homedirectory is on an NFS mount, shared by multiple computers (some of them using icedove, some being upgraded to thunderbird). i see little merit in insisting on ~/.icedove/ not being there. afaik, ~/.icedove/ and ~/.thunderbird/ are practically identical, and could be shared between icedove and thunderbird clients, if it wasn't for thunderbird refusing to start if there is an ~/.icedove/ (even it is just a symlink to ~/.thunderbird/). so please allow me to have both ~/.icedoce and ~/.thunderbird folders, side by side (without having to ressort to calling /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird instead of /usr/bin/thunderbird) gmfadr IOhannes PS: i think that #855330 suggests something similar. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages thunderbird depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.1 ii fontconfig 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libasound2 1.1.3-5 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.16-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-3 ii libffi6 3.2.1-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3+b2 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-8 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libhunspell-1.4-0 1.4.1-2+b1 ii libicu57 57.1-5 ii libnspr4 2:4.12-6 ii libnss3 2:3.26.2-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.4-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.4-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.4-1 ii libpixman-1-0 0.34.0-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.16.2-3 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-4 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-8 ii libvpx4 1.6.1-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-2+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii psmisc 22.21-2.1+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages thunderbird recommends: ii hunspell-de-at [hunspell-dictionary] 20161207-1 ii hunspell-en-us [hunspell-dictionary] 20070829-7 ii lightning 1:45.7.1-1 Versions of packages thunderbird suggests: pn apparmor <none> pn fonts-lyx <none> ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.15-1 -- no debconf information
