Package: webext-tbsync
Version: 4.16-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: maddog at mir.com

Dear Maintainer,

Thunderbird 140.3.1esr does not load this extension.  It appears that the
debian packaging has omitted the entire .../api/ subtree from the .xpi
(and maybe other bits as well).

FYI, the webext-eas4tbsync package appears to have a similar problem as well.


The thunderbird error console says:
