#200240 — stretch update of thunderbird wants to remove enigmail

Greetings,

I run debian stretch:

ni@quark:/etc$ cat debian_version
9.5

and I use a number of email clients. I see there is currently an update 
(presumably security related?) for thunderbird. But as this upgrade would 
remove enigmail I chose (at least for the moment) to not implement it.

Does anyone know if there are plans in the works for an associated upgrade of 
enigmail so that it might be possible in the near future to upgrade 
thunderbird without losing embedded support for gnupg?

I'm not subscribed to this list (but will check the archives on-line for a 
while to make sure I don't miss a reply), so CCs to me are fine (and even 
appreciated if you are willing).

    thanks so very much in advance,
         ~e

I have also found this issue in my update yesterday.

I'm not sure if it will be related but in later attempts to update I got
this internal error:

----------
root@orion:~# aptitude upgrade -V
Resolving dependencies...
Internal error: found 2 (choice -> promotion) mappings for a single choice.
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
----------

Kind regards,
Daniel

This is discussed in bug #909000[1], you may want to subscribe to it.

Thanks for the reference in Debian BTS. The weekend I was looking for if
there was an open issue but I didn't find it. I see the issue was opened
today.


Kind regards,
Daniel

I let apt remove enigmail, and then manually reinstalled the addon from
Thunderbird's Tools>Addon menu.  All my user settings were retrieved
correctly as far as I can see.

Bouncing back to the list, since you replied to me only privately.

Interesting data point; thanks so much. Though I think I would feel better 
(security-wise) about installing the debian version of enigmail. Of course 
running with the currently unupgraded version of thunderbird as I am is also 
suboptimal.
