Hello,
This bug appears to still be an issue on my setup:
$ a-policy thunderbird
thunderbird:
Installed: 1:45.8.0-3
Candidate: 1:45.8.0-3
Version table:
*** 1:45.8.0-3 800
800 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64
Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
The homedir itself is a symlink. Starting Thunderbird results in "
usr/bin/thunderbird: [profile migration] Couldn't migrate Icedove into
Thunderbird profile due existing or symlinked folder". After that it
created a new .icedove.
I can get it to start by doing "export HOME=/home/remote/user" then
starting thunderbird. /home/ is full of symlinks for each remote user
to /home/remote/user. /home/remote is a NFS mount from a central
server.
Let me know if you need more information. I can setup a test user and
add some terminal output if needed.
Thanks!
