So I'd say there's still some brokenness in sid's | version. I don't know what the fix is for that.Just a guess, but try # mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d # chmod o+rx /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird # chmod o+rx /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d -D (I haven't looked at thunderbird myself yet, however next time I need to test something in particular I'll install it)
The directory, or actually a symlink, already exists.westk[@westek]:/home/westk:> ls -ld /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.dlrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Oct 21 09:07 /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d -> /var/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d
And the referenced directory exists:westk[@westek]:/home/westk:> ls -ld /var/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.ddrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Oct 18 06:22 /var/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d
But, it's an empty directory:westk[@westek]:/home/westk:> ls -la /var/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d
total 2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Oct 18 06:22 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Oct 21 09:07 ..But interestingly, you gave me the idea to run it as super-user, so I ran "sudo mozilla-thunderbird". I still got the error, but this time thunderbird started. So I exited out, and then ran it as my normal user, and now it works, and I no longer even get the error message, even though the directory is still empty.
Huh. Go figure. -- Kent
