thunderbird-gnome-support depends on libnotify-bin

[Ayke]

Binary package hint: thunderbird-gnome-support

Title says it.

Currently, when libnotify-bin is not installed, and thunderbird-gnome-support is, an error message keeps popping up complaining about some path (and not much more, I don't know the precise error right now).

Ubuntu natty beta

Sorry, but this is nothing to do with thunderbird. The error message is coming from an extension you have installed

[Ayke (ayke)]

Can someone say where to report this bug?

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

I've no idea. You need to report extension bugs to whoever provides you the extension. In any case, if if you have downloaded an xpi from addons.mozilla.org and it depends on libnotify-bin, then there's not much the extension author can do about that other than tell you to install it (xpi's have no way to declare dependencies on distro-packages).

I'm guessing you are using something like https://addons.mozilla.org/af/thunderbird/addon/gnome-integration/

Did you read my last response?

[Ayke (ayke)]

Sorry, posted accidentally twice (Firefox saved the session but somehow didn't load the new messages)

[Ayke (ayke)]

Chris Coulson: this extension is in the Ubuntu repositories (thunderbird-gnome-support) and, according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/thunderbird-gnome-support, this is the place where I should report bugs.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

No, thunderbird-gnome-support is not an extension, it is a meta-package to pull in some gnome libraries. Nothing in it requires anything from libnotify-bin. The error message you see is from an extension you've installed from somewhere else.

Hello Ayke,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2011 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 750556

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G
