Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:52.2.1-4~deb8u1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hi,

the latest upgrade to thunderbird 1:52.2.1-4~deb8u1 breaks the current
oldstable enigmail package (2:1.8.2-4~deb8u1). Since there has not been
any upgrades of the enigmail package lately, I assume that the source of the 
problem must be the thunderbird upgrade.

Detailed description:
* When clicking on encrypted mails, thunderbird says "This is an
* encrypted OpenPGP message. In order to decrypt this mail, you need to
* install an OpenPGP add-on" although enigmail is installed and shows up
* in the menu and in addons
* Similiarly, the enigmail encryption symbol is shown (greyd-out) but no
* longer works when writing mails
* Enigmail settings can no longer be accessed via the menu only via
* addons (clicking on menu and hovering over enigmail no longer shows a
* submenu, clicking on enigmail -> preferences in the menu bar 
* Clicking on Enigmail buttons is no longer processed (yields no
* results)
* In Preferences -> Basic settings, the message beneath "Files and
Directories" is "(error)". Since clicking on enigmail buttons is no
longer processed, it is impossible to activate "Override with" to
/usr/bin/gpg2 ("Ok" button does not work, "Browse" button does not work,
"Display Expert Settings and Menus" does not work)

Further info:
* gpg and gpg2 exist (both in /usr/bin/) and both work flawlessly on the
* command line
* all current upgrades have been installed
* I have been informed that the same error also occurs on at least one
other system of a colleague with a debian standard install. Also there
has been a seperate bugreport on the enigmail page that seems to point to the
same problem (to avoid confusion: I posted my first bugreport there too
before I noticed that there hadn't been an enigmail upgrade, but there
has also been another one).

I work in a small company and this problem is a desaster for us, since
all of our communication is OpenPGP secured and we rely on
thunderbird/enigmail to work. Please help to fix this problem quickly.

Greetings,

Shevek Mandragou
