Public bug reported: After auto update of thunderbird to version 12 the german translation of menus and buttons were lost.
The german language pack thunderbird-thunderbird-locale-de 1:12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 is marked as installed, reinstalling the packaged didn't solve the problem. To workaround this bug I had to manually install the language pack xpi file from the mozilla website. P.S. I tried to report it against the above mentioned packed but the bug tracker was unable to find it. It was unable to find any thunderbird related packet.... --- sudo apt-cache show thunderbird-locale-de Package: thunderbird-locale-de Priority: optional Section: mail Installed-Size: 600 Maintainer: Ubuntu Mozilla Team <ubuntu-mozillat...@lists.ubuntu.com> Architecture: i386 Source: thunderbird (12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) Version: 1:12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 Depends: thunderbird Filename: pool/main/t/thunderbird/thunderbird-locale-de_12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_i386.deb Size: 378228 MD5sum: 880b1dade81ed114f49fb4050b4a52b5 SHA1: 3e4efaf561d88b496bafb5cb4d2e22a8d54ba832 SHA256: dd9e79b3e99104c5571059d35f8fa86367f8251fcd0ecb150e9ad87dceab2510 Description: German language pack for Thunderbird This package contains German translations and search plugins for Thunderbird Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Origin: Ubuntu Supported: 18m Task: xubuntu-live --- sudo apt-cache show thunderbird Package: thunderbird Priority: optional Section: mail Installed-Size: 35468 Maintainer: Ubuntu Mozilla Team <ubuntu-mozillat...@lists.ubuntu.com> Architecture: i386 Version: 12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 Replaces: mozilla-thunderbird, thunderbird-gnome-support (<= 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu3) Provides: mail-reader Depends: libasound2 (>> 1.0.22), libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.29.3), libc6 (>= 2.11), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2), libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.8.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.3.9), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.23.5), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.20.0), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libstartup-notification0 (>= 0.10), libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1), libx11-6 (>= 0), libxext6 (>= 0), libxrender1, libxt6, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) Recommends: myspell-en-us | hunspell-dictionary | myspell-dictionary, libcanberra0 Suggests: thunderbird-gnome-support (= 12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1), latex-xft-fonts, libthai0 Conflicts: mozilla-thunderbird Breaks: thunderbird-gnome-support (<= 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu3) Filename: pool/main/t/thunderbird/thunderbird_12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_i386.deb Size: 18905018 MD5sum: 603b5ff3fd6b7441b9ab5ed2d1284a1f SHA1: e0b75dceabfcf613330e84e0d0f5c1d109bf2019 SHA256: f53f3974434c9072fe0e8c29cf44757965d55fc9cc0b46de3125844a2967c7a4 Description: Email, RSS and newsgroup client with integrated spam filter Thunderbird is a full-featured email, RSS and newsgroup client that makes emailing safer, faster and easier than ever before.
