Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, the 0.8 and 0.9pre nightly versions of the Lightning add-on installed from the mozilla web site are completely non-functional on Thurderbird 2.0.0.12+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 (Hardy)

The calendar which should show in the right appears on the left. The remote calendars do not load. In the calendar view, the month "bar" is not painted, events do not load, clicking the buttons in the toolbar do nothing, basically the add on does not function at all.

I attempted to create a new profile in thunderbird and got the same result. I was not able to test the lightning-extension 0.7 that comes with Hardy as it is too old to use with my profile.

I was not having any issues with this in Gutsy (2.0.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu1)

I am using lightning at work for access to my calendar so this is extremely high priority for me. I attempted to use the 0.7 version of sunbird from Hardy to try to use in the interim, but it also fails to pull down my calendars. So at the moment I unfortunately have no way to access my calendars. I will attempt to downgrade Thunderbird to the Gutsy version, but will have to see if that works with the Hardy dependencies.

Any help is appreciated.

Downgrading Thunderbird did not help. Looks like this may be the cause of another package being upgraded.

We are unable to support any version of a package we do not provide.
Please remove lightning and all profiles that you had with it and install ours, if ours is missing a feature than file a wishlist bug. If ours is broken please opena new bug. Closing as most of complaints are from non ubuntu versions of package. Please keep a bug report one issue

Changed in thunderbird:

Lightning 0.8 testing packages will be at https://edge.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/
in the next few hours unless the builds fail due to builders failing as this was built locally and succeded but please test packages and see if this fixes anything for you, Mind you we havent really patched anything yet this is first build of 0.8 to work off of that we have done. If your getting errors in 0.8 than you will most likely still get them, I suggest removing your sunbird profile and fully uninstalling what you have now and testing this poackage, please dont file bugs on it just yet.
