Thanks for figuring out, the Mozilla universe of environments are big and sometimes dark. Information on how to handle all these things are fragmented a lot. So your help or any help in improvements are really appreciated. > The same issue occurs with firefox and I've proposed the following solution: > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=832298#22 > > Basically, remove the symlink and use mozilla/build/unix/mozilla.in as a > base to export this environment variable. > > Could you please revert this change and add this wrapper script? Icedove uses since 17.x no wrapper script anymore. But, with the changes due the remove of the Icedove de-branding we will need to use a wrapper script again. I'm working on the needed changes to get a Thunderbird package back and we need to investigate all the needed stuff. So this bug report will be reflected. This issue will probably not be fixed in a Icedove upload as we plan to do now the migration to Thunderbird first. Regards Carsten
