[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#954080: tbsync: broken by new thunderbird, please prepare new version for stable-updates

[Martin]

Source: tbsync
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: important

Hi Mechthilde,

it looks like the current tbsync in buster is not directly
usable anymore, after thunderbird has been upgraded from 60.x to
68.x. I assume, that just using a newer version in stable might
work, but I didn't try yet.

First, I just downgraded thunderbird, lightning, and enigmail
to their original buster versions:

thunderbird 60.9.0-1~deb10u1
lightning 60.9.0-1~deb10u1
enigmail 2.0.12+ds1-1~deb10u1

This works and might be a good workaround for most users.

Second, I did an adhoc, local backport of tbsync. This works
with the latest thunderbird in buster, as expected.

Cheers & stay healthy!
