## Andrea Venturoli (ml@netfence.it): > Do you have any more detailed info? Like... > What exactly has changed in the packaging? https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/mail/thunderbird/Makefile?r1=428672&r2=428671&pathrev=428672 Lightning is now installed in it's default location - that is, like in the official thunderbird packages for linux, and some modifications have been undone. This will make things easier in the future, but a thunderbird profile created before r428672 will not find the lightning extension in it's new location. > Why a profile won't work as it is? It will work, but Lightning will have vanished from your thunderbird. > Why removing the Lightning accounts, upgrading, and adding them back is > not enough? > What about deleting "calendar-data"? Bugs me, didn't work for me. Given the alternative between not updating thunderbird for even some more time and this, I decided to bite the bullet. > Is this a FreeBSD specific issue? Yes, to my knowledge nobody else had those patches in their builds, and with the return to the default locations... > Will installations without other "extensions building on Lightning" show > the problem? Yes. Some of the workarounds I tried will work in that case. > Any interaction with bug 215348 (1)? I'm still using that patch. Testing revealed that this patch can prevent new profiles from accessing lightning, which I considered undesirable. > Since I cannot afford to recreate my profile from scratch right now, I'm > willing to dig a little into this and see if I can get around it. Any > pointer would help... I tried several combinations of copying, moving and symlinking the extensions - short of reverting r428672 I didn't find anything which made "old" and "new" profiles work.
