Public bug reported:
Hi.
After upgrading thunderbird to version 12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 on 10.04
I cannot see any system-wide langpack in the addons menu. The reason of it is
that somehow (I think it's the order of package installation/configuring )
'/usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions' becomes a directory while upgrade (it should
be symlink to '/usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/etenstions' normally). So, all
langpacks stays in '/usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/extensions', but thunderbird
doesn't detect them. I don't see this problem on 12.04, I think it's because it
already had /usr/lib/thunderbird folder before upgrade, but ubuntu 10.04 used
/usr/lib/thunderbird-a.b directories for storing thunderbird package data
earlier, so it has this problem.
A quick solution is:
mv /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/* /usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/extensions
rmdir /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions
ln -s /usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/extensions /usr/lib/thunderbird
This bug has already affected many machines in our office.
Thanks.
