Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:68.2.2-1~deb10u1
Followup-For: Bug #928178
Not sure this is the same bug, but the symptom is similar, and the solution is
the same...
After upgrade to Debian 10.2 "Buster" (and possibly some additional factors,
but see below) Thunderbird would not start.
It would pop up a dialog "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be
missing or inaccessible".
When started from the console, it would also print "Error: Access was denied
while trying to open files in your profile directory."
I initally noticed this from a user account that has its $HOME on an NFS
server, server running Debian 8 "Jessie"; so I tried a few things:
* Move ~/.icedove and ~/.thunderbird out of the way: same error
* Start "thunderbird -P" (profile manager): same error
* Remove ("dpkg --remove") the apparmor package: same error
* Create a new user with $HOME also on NFS: same error
* Create a new user with $HOME under /var: same error
However, it worked again after I ran the command "aa-disable
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird".
