That's an unexpected upgrade problem:

Unpacking thunderbird-locale-en (1:68.7.0+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.2) over (1:60.9.0+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/thunderbird-locale-en_1%3a68.7.0+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/extensions', which is also in package thunderbird-locale-en-us 1:60.9.0+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Could you try to force the upgrade, and let us know whether this goes through?

    sudo apt -f install
