Package: calendar-google-provider
Version: 1:60.9.0-1~deb10u1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
Thunderbird and lightning packages were recently updated to
1:68.2.2-1~deb10u1
to fix security problems, but calendar-google-provider has not been updated.
Anyone using the calendar-google-provider package must keep using the old
thunderbird with security vulnerabilities until the package is updated.

you missed probably the latest NEWS entry for the thunderbird package.

So no, the source and the build of calendar-google-provider was dropped
by upstream and we haven't forgotten to update this package.
Unfortunately Mozilla isn't communicating such bigger changes very good
in public and we can mostly just reacting.
The removal was planned for a longer time was told me, but the code
within the source had some issue that 2FA wasn't working anymore and an
update wasn't possible in time so upstream decided to remove the AddOn
directly even if the version was just increased by a minor version.
I'll close your report by this email.
