Package: thunderbird Version: 1:45.6.0-3 Severity: normal I was utterly confused when starting thunderbird telling me there was already .thunderbird directory and refusing to start
It seems I had clicked the icon twice and the first click had triggered the migration, copying the .icedove directory (a kinda large directory) and the second one was finding the copy-in-progress directory Nothing went wrong and the lock worked fine... But I was baffled for a few minutes trying to figure out what was happening until I looked the process list to find out a thunderbird instance copying the .icedove folder Some popup stating the migration is going to copy the old folder would be useful :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages thunderbird depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.1 ii fontconfig 2.11.0-6.7 ii libasound2 1.1.3-4 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.14-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-2.1 ii libffi6 3.2.1-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3+b1 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-5 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.2-2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-1 ii libhunspell-1.4-0 1.4.1-2+b1 ii libicu57 57.1-5 ii libnspr4 2:4.12-6 ii libnss3 2:3.26.2-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpixman-1-0 0.34.0-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.16.2-2 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-4 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-5 ii libvpx4 1.6.1-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-2+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii psmisc 22.21-2.1+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages thunderbird recommends: ii hunspell-en-gb [hunspell-dictionary] 1:5.2.4-1 ii hunspell-en-us [hunspell-dictionary] 20070829-7 ii lightning 1:45.6.0-3 ii myspell-es [myspell-dictionary] 1.11-14 Versions of packages thunderbird suggests: ii apparmor 2.11.0-2 ii fonts-lyx 2.2.2-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.15-1 -- no debconf information
