Package: thunderbird Version: 1:68.2.2-1~deb10u1 Severity: important
The current package of thunderbird in stretch (68.2.2-1~deb9u1) reports a bigger version number than the current package in buster (68.2.2-1~deb10u1) due to the inclusion of the build timestamp. The version reported by stretch is 68.2.2_20191116203149/20191116203149 and buster 68.2.2_20191116193034/20191116193034. This information is then used by thunderbird to fill the compatibility.ini in the profile and after an upgrade from stretch to buster leads to thunderbird prompting to either quit or create a new profile because it detects that an older version of thunderbird is trying to open a profile last used by a newer version. I believe using the same profile should be safe, as the underlying upstream version is the same at the moment and should probably never be newer in oldstable than stable. As a workaround it's possible to start thunderbird with the parameter "--allow- downgrade" or manually delete the line starting with "LastVersion=" in the compatibility.ini in the profile but less savy users may use access to the data in their old profiles (the data is still there but a regular user will probably not be able to access it without further instructions). -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages thunderbird depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.6.1 ii fontconfig 2.13.1-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.30.0-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.16.0-4 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-4 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.16-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.110-4 ii libevent-2.1-6 2.1.8-stable-4 ii libffi6 3.2.1-9 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-2 ii libfreetype6 2.9.1-3+deb10u1 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-2+deb10u2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.5-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-3 ii libjsoncpp1 1.7.4-3 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-7~deb10u1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-6 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 ii libvpx5 1.7.0-3+deb10u1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.7-1 ii libxcb-shm0 1.13.1-2 ii libxcb1 1.13.1-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1+b3 ii psmisc 23.2-1 ii x11-utils 7.7+4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages thunderbird recommends: ii hunspell-de-de [hunspell-dictionary] 20161207-7 ii hunspell-en-us [hunspell-dictionary] 1:2018.04.16-1 ii lightning 1:68.2.2-1~deb10u1 Versions of packages thunderbird suggests: ii apparmor 2.13.2-10 ii fonts-lyx 2.3.2-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.17-3 -- no debconf information
