Thunderbird 78.3 was uploaded by security team to update from version 68.x Webext-tbsync version 2.11 works fine with thunderbird 68.x. but it doesn't work with thunderbird 78.x. For thunderbird 78.x you need version 2.16 mandatorily. In the meantime there is thunderbird 78.x in buster (security) and webext-tbsync version 2.11 in buster. This combination is incompatible (broken). How can we handle such things in a better way in the future?
