Hello,
I am reopening this bug as the latest update (apt-cache policy enigmail
shows:
enigmail:
Installed: 2:1.9.8.1-1~deb8u1
Candidate: 2:1.9.8.1-1~deb8u1
Version table:
*** 2:1.9.8.1-1~deb8u1 0
500 http://somemirrorthatIuse/ oldstable/updates/main powerpc
Packages
500 http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates/main powerpc
Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2:1.8.2-4~deb8u1 0
)
seems to have broken enigmail support, at least on the ppc (powerpc64) arch.
After updating and restarting Thunderbird, the enigmail button has
vanished...
If it was backported from Debian 9 without further adaptations, this is
the cause:
Debian 9 doesn't support powerpc (only ppc-le, for little-endian) for
some reason.
However, ppc support shouldn't be broken on Debian 8 as long as 8 is
supported.
In advance, thank you for taking this into account and taking necessary
action.
And let me know if I can be of any further help, this is a productivity
killer for me.
Best regards,

P.S.:
When trying to install from the official Thunderbird repo., getting the
message:
"enigmail is incompatible with thunderbird 45.8.0" (shows up in add-ons
manager)
