[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#869774: Enigmail update broke ppc support

[Stiepan Aurélien Kovac]

Hello,

I am reopening this bug as the latest update (apt-cache policy enigmail 
shows:
enigmail:
   Installed: 2:1.9.8.1-1~deb8u1
   Candidate: 2:1.9.8.1-1~deb8u1
   Version table:
  *** 2:1.9.8.1-1~deb8u1 0
         500 http://somemirrorthatIuse/ oldstable/updates/main powerpc 
Packages
         500 http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates/main powerpc 
Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
      2:1.8.2-4~deb8u1 0
)

seems to have broken enigmail support, at least on the ppc (powerpc64) arch.

After updating and restarting Thunderbird, the enigmail button has 
vanished...

If it was backported from Debian 9 without further adaptations, this is 
the cause:

Debian 9 doesn't support powerpc (only ppc-le, for little-endian) for 
some reason.

However, ppc support shouldn't be broken on Debian 8 as long as 8 is 
supported.

In advance, thank you for taking this into account and taking necessary 
action.

And let me know if I can be of any further help, this is a productivity 
killer for me.

Best regards,

P.S.:

When trying to install from the official Thunderbird repo., getting the 
message:

"enigmail is incompatible with thunderbird 45.8.0" (shows up in add-ons 
manager)
