[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#949736: enigmail: uninstallable in stretch (since thunderbird was upgraded to version 68 due to security upgrade)

[Laura Arjona Reina]

Package: enigmail
Version: 2:2.0.8-5~deb9u1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
Tags: stretch

Dear Maintainer,

Current version of Thunderbird in Debian stretch is 68, which is incompatible
with the enigmail currently packaged in stretch.
The issue was fixed in Debian buster and Debian jessie by upgrading the version
of enigmail, but this has not been done in stretch yet.
Then,
* for new installs, enigmail cannot be installed,
* the computers that were already running stretch need to choose between
upgrading Thunderbird to get the security updates (and then enigmail will be
uninstalled), or keeping the old version of Thunderbird with a working enigmail
(but having unpatched security vulnerabilities).

There will be a release point for stretch soon and it would be great
if it carries a new version of enigmail solving this issue for stretch.

Thanks!
