thunderbird 68 is now in buster-new and in security.debian.org
sadly, the enigmail upstream versions are closely tied to the
thunderbird versions. (enigmail 2.0.x works with TB 60, but 2.1.x
works
with TB 68) See https://bugs.debian.org/945014 for more details.
I'm proposing to upgrade the version of enigmail in buster to match
the
new version of thunderbird.
Thanks a lot, Daniel!
Would be very nice to get this into Buster rather soon.
As a point of detail, we just had a point release, so no changes are
happening to buster for a couple of months or so. (I'm aware that
-updates exists, obviously.)
At the moment,
enigmail users either have to continue using a Thunderbird version with
known security vulnerabilities or have to uninstall enigmail (and
install the upstream version of Enigmail, which has its own drawbacks).
I was told on IRC that the plan was for this update to be released via
the security archive.
Daniel, could you clarify, please?
Regards,
Adam
