Thunderbird 45.3 failed to be built for Yakkety

[Francois Thirioux]

Thunderbird is stuck at version 45.2 on Yakkety's proposed repository. Packages for all archs failed to build. It should be v. 45.3 as Xenial's packages. Additionally, there is a security notice :

I do not manage to run the new proposed 45.3 version. From terminal there is no error message, but Thunderbird's :

Starting a new profile works, though.
But that's not a very convenient upgrade method. :-)

the latest today's ubuntu3 version seems to work ok.
