Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
On a machine I had installed ubuntu-hardy (32 bit) having
# dpkg -l|grep thunderbird
ii thunderbird
2.0.0.24+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 mail/news client with RSS
and integrated spa
ii thunderbird-locale-de 1:2.0.0.14+1-0ubuntu1~8.04.1
Thunderbird German language/region package
ii thunderbird-locale-en-gb 1:2.0.0.14+1-0ubuntu1~8.04.1
Thunderbird English language/region package
6 days ago I installed ubuntu-lucid (beta2+upgrades) on a new partition,
keeping homedirs on NFS.
new versions are
# dpkg -l | grep thunderbird
ii thunderbird 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
mail/news client with RSS and integrated spa
ii thunderbird-locale-de 1:3.0.4-0ubuntu1
Thunderbird German language/region package
Actual Results:
I found yesterday that thunderbird did not start. Running "thunderbird" on
command-line did not produce any message either. return/error code was 1.
Further investigation showed that it replaced the .mozilla-thunderbird
folder with a symlink to .thunderbird, which would be OK, but it also
had .thunderbird as a symlink to .thunderbird, breaking things.
.mozilla-thunderbird -> /home/beyer/.thunderbird
.thunderbird -> /home/beyer/.thunderbird
It appears that the old .mozilla-thunderbird folder was moved to
.thunderbird.upstream on first start of thunderbird.
Expected Results:
thunderbird should start using old mail settings (and address book),
preferably in a way that still allows old thunderbird to work on the same
configuration data.
