Thunderbird lightning Calendar stops working after Partial Distribution upgrade

[Daniel Germer]

Binary package hint: lightning-extension

Distribution:
Ubuntu 8.10

Version of Package:
Installed: 0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

after opening the Calendar to update and view my events, I could not change the week, the day or the month, and there was no functionality whatsoever in my calendars.
when switching back and forth from thunderbird to lightning each time I opened the calendar, my Calendars multiplied
(see screenshot attached)

I would not like to loose my events and dates that I have added carefully. So I am afraid of de-installation or re-installation.

is this still an issue? make a backup of your .mozilla/sunbird folder and try performing a fresh install of sunbird.

first the problem is likely caused by the partial dist upgrade weather fixed or not it most likely corrupted the profile. Removing the profile should work. I'm closing this bug due to not a fault in Lightning or sunbird but more of a system issue.

Fix the dist-upgrade than remove --purge sunbirdlightning than remove thier profiles from ~/ than try again.
