I am not sure what the best approach would be, because indeed the soname can vary over time (although in this particular case I suspect it will change very seldom). Currently on Ubuntu 20.04 it is "libresolv.so.2". But it looks like the code in the ctypes wrapper would need rearchitecting quite a bit to take sonames into account.
In any case, it is worth taking the discussion upstream, as their opinion would be valuable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875348 Title: TbSync add-on needs a dependency on libc6-dev (for libresolv.so) Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When trying to get the add-on TbSync to work in combination with the add-on "Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV", I encountered a mysterious error message, "status.service-provider-setup-failed". After getting in touch with the maintainer of these add-ons, it turns out that this add-on depends upon libresolv.so. Indeed I managed to resolve the error by manually installing libc6-dev which contains this so. Therefore should libc6-dev be a dependency for Thunderbird?
