Bug Description

Upstream Thunderbird version 78.2.2 should be a candidate for backporting to stable Ubuntu releases.

I've successfully built 78.2.1 against both with forcing nodejs version (20.04, 18.04) and disabling AV1 support due to too old nasm (18.04). Attaching debdiffs here.

Thanks Timo for test-building thunderbird 78 for bionic and focal.
Given that 78 is a major new version, I was waiting for the dust to settle before backporting. Now that 78.3.0 is out, it seems to time is right to work on this.

GContactSync, which is the only working extension recommended by Thunderbird to sync Google contacts (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail), doesn't work yet in version 78 (https://github.com/jdgeenen/gcontactsync/issues/163). An upgrade to 78 may lead to unexpected breakage for many.

Hi,

If I could give an opinion from users perspective to this backport:
I'm using 20.04 focal. My setup ist Thunderbird 68 + Enigmail + OpenPGP.
With the Thunderbird 78 update users have to change their workflow.

A few examples:
User has disabled encryption per default, as most of it's recipients don't use encryption.
If the keyring contains a key for all recipients, enigmail automatically enables encryption.
This behavior is not possible with TB 78, you either have it enabled by default or not.

Keys inside TB keyring don't have passphrases. To secure them, you have to set a master password for the keyring, which disables you to just look at some mailing lists, newletters, whatsoever without typing the keyring password. (workaround is to use for the private key an external keyring key)

TB 78 doesn't offer the same capabilities (e.g. to alter your private keys to add another identity), as the old setup with TB 68 + Enigmail. If it would be just to port all keys to the internal keyring and everything else would be available as before (function wise, a few optical changes would not be problematic, as long as the functionality would be equal), fine.
But that's not the case.

Therefore I'd ask to take this into consideration updating the main thunderbird package in 20.04 and 18.04, as it surely will force those using encryption yet, to investigate how to replace their old setup.
Maybe an option could be to provide the backport as a new package like thunderbird-78?

Greetings, Lukas

Thanks for your input Lukas. Your points are valid, and others share your concerns with the replacement of enigmail by a built-in implementation that doesn't use the system keyring.

Unfortunately thunderbird 68 won't be supported with security updates for much longer, definitely not for the remaining lifespan of Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. So the upgrade to 78 isn't avoidable.

Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki) wrote :

Indeed security updates will force the move to 78 sooner or later. I'm myself a happy user of 78 nowadays but can understand the Enigmail change will cause grey hairs even if most of the little bugs have been fixed.

In my case, I think I upgraded when 78.2.2 was out, I needed to tinker a bit before I realized I needed to manually go to Manage Identities of my account and select my key there for each ddress before my setup was complete. The upgrade didn't automatically enable using the OpenPGP key associated with the e-mail addresses other than the account's main one.

Jimmy, the guide is correct. The line in your sources.list should look something like that:

Please note that it is safer to selectively update the packages you are interested in (in this case, thunderbird* and possibly enigmail) and then comment out again that line, to avoid pulling in all of focal-proposed, with unrelated updates.

Another concern:
https://github.com/kewisch/gdata-provider/issues
this very common addon that manages Google Calendar does not always show Google calendars at TB startup. It's not snap nor Ubuntu nor Linux related. There are numerous similar bug reports.
Another one with task creation:
https://github.com/kewisch/gdata-provider/issues/110

I know Ubuntu is promoting GNOME Calendar but using former Lightning one is very common.

Lukas Wiest (lukas-wiest) wrote :

@Oliver I've upgraded mine now.

For me (with researching beforehand yet) the transition was a five minute thing.
The downsides described above stay of course, but that's not Ubuntu's fault.

But for others if they stumble across this, my setup has changed in the following points:
 - I've set sign+encrypt as default. This forces me to always explicitly disable it, if I send someone an email who doesn't use encryption. (automatism by email-match missing).
 - On the migration assistant from enigmail to port your keys, I canceled all passphrase requests, as I didn't want my private keys to be in the TB keyring. This way I got all public keys ported, but none of the private ones.
 - then checked with `gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format long` for private keys, and added for each account the correct external gnupg keyid (important: you need to use the encryption keyid, not the signing key one)
Background: As long as you don't set a master password for the TB keyring, your private keys would be stored unsecured on your disk.

P.S: For the privacy concerned people in general: There's a site called privacy manual, which provides a user.js for TB 78 setting a bunch of configs regarding security and privacy.
It's only available in german, but maybe interesting anyway:

Thanks for your work so far. Please settle on TB 78.5.1 [1] (and not just 78.5.0) because it's got a highly requested "feature":

"OpenPGP: Added option to disable email subject encryption"

It would be better, of course, to aim for the latest version "78.6.0" but that's just a nitpick ;)

@osomon: I'd also kindly ask for more information on what's blocking this update. Thunderbird version 68 - which is the standard mail solution shipping with Ubuntu 20.04 right now - is over 6.5 months old. The upstream version got numerous security fixes over the last half year. Doesn't feel good to have to rely on software for communications that stopped getting updates for such a long time. I really don't want to be pushy, because I know Ubuntu is free software, but I'd like to express my worries that this for many users important question (current versions of browser and mail) doesn't have the focus it should have.

Note that the update to thunderbird 78 breaks tinyjsd and jsunit.

From TinyJSD's homepage¹:

  « Note: due to the massive and rapid changes in the Mozilla Platform, TinyJSD is no longer actively maintained. The last version supports Thunderbird 60/SeaMonkey 2.57. We recommend to use the standard Developer Tools that are shipped with Thunderbird. »

From the enigmail-users mailing list²:

  « I did not port JSUnit to TB 78. »

Consequently, in the update I have marked thunderbird as breaking tinyjsd and jsunit, and replacing tinyjsd.

thunderbird 78.5.0 currently in focal-proposed is blocked¹:

  ◦ Issues preventing migration:
  ◦ autopkgtest for jsunit/0.2.2-2: amd64: Regression ♻ , arm64: Regression ♻ , armhf: Regression ♻ , i386: Ignored failure, ppc64el: Regression ♻ , s390x: Not a regression
  ◦ migrating thunderbird/1:78.5.0+build3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1/amd64 to testing makes tinyjsd/1.2+git1-1/amd64 uninstallable

I would welcome help from the SRU team to decide the best course of action to unblock this situation.

@osomon: I already saw the proposed link but anyway thanks for summing up the situation.

From my (user) perspective I like and absolutely agree with the ubuntu principle of not breaking things in favor of chasing higher version numbers but I only see one way out of this dilemma: 'Dropping' those two packages as soon as possible because from your links it seems obvious that they will never be interoperable with newer Thunderbird versions than 68. Has there been any progress in the 50 days since your update got blocked?

Looks to me more like a communication problem than a technical problem. Does the SRU team even know that we are desperately waiting for any action from their side?

Is there anything else you (or we?) could do to get this ball rolling?

Thanks for your time, Olivier!

For the record, I talked to Robie who is on the SRU team, and he said:

 « IMHO, I think that breaking the other packages to bump Thunderbird is inevitable. Technically I don't think that's within the remit of the SRU team - it's a TB thing. I think we should figure out how to mitigate as much as possible, document and publicise the breakage as best as we can, then break it. »

We went on to discuss how "apt upgrade" would behave (vs "apt dist-upgrade"), I tested and I observed that "apt upgrade" wouldn't proceed to the upgrade as it doesn't remove broken packages.
The "Software Updater" GUI however does the right thing, even if the UX will be slightly unusual for most users (assuming they have tinyjsd or jsunit installed): it will first warn that "Not all updates can be installed", and propose a partial upgrade, which does the right thing, warning that it's going to remove two packages (tinyjsd and jsunit) and upgrade 5 packages (thunderbird*), and offering to proceed.

We agreed that I would bring up the topic with the technical board on their mailing list.

This is the verification work I did from a package management perspective, to verify correctness and consistency in a variety of scenarii:

1) In a fully up-to-date focal VM with enigmail, jsunit and tinyjsd installed, I enabled focal-proposed and updated:
    - from a terminal with `apt dist-upgrade`, debconf ncurses dialogs were displayed to notify of the removal of tinyjsd and jsunit from the archive
    - from the GUI (update-manager), debconf GTK dialogs were displayed

2) In a fully up-to-date groovy VM with enigmail installed, I enable groovy-proposed:
    - if jsunit and tinyjsd had been manually installed from focal-proposed (i.e. they are empty packages), they are not removed
    - if jsunit and tinyjsd had been manually installed from focal (release), they are removed with the upgrade

3) In a focal chroot without focal-updates, with enigmail, jsunit and tinyjsd installed, I hand-edited /etc/apt/sources.list to upgrade to groovy with groovy-updates and groovy-proposed and verified that jsunit and tinyjsd were being removed as expected.

Now that the new version was released to the "updates" channel I tried a regular Update using the default Ubuntu update-manager GUI. I don't have tinyjsd or jsunit installed so I expected everything to go smoothly.

Instead the update-manager proposes a partial system update to install the thunderbird version and REMOVE the enigmail package (see screenshot).

I suspect, this would not migrate my enigmail keys. If I understood it right there should be a new version for the enigmail package as well, which handles the migration of the encryption keys to the new internal PGP implementation.
Is the update for the enigmail package still stuck somewhere?

@racb posted earlier that the two packages should be updated together:

Thanks for seeing this through, but let me raise some important points.

Why is Thunderbird not covered by the same update policy as Firefox? Sure it's not a web browser, but it's one of the most important and widely used GUI email clients. Also, it is a close cousin of Firefox.

These updates took way too long to come out for LTS releases, and they are/were already obsolete once they did roll out. For example, the 78.9.x and 78.10.x releases are more than a month old at this point, and both contain fixes for "high" severity vulnerabilities:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2021-12/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2021-14/

I think Ubuntu should make a greater effort to keep up with Thunderbird upstream.

This isn't the right place to be raising this. Only people subscribed to
the bug will see the conversation here, and that cuts out most of the

I enabled bionic-proposed in a fully up-to-date bionic amd64 VM with thunderbird, enigmail and jsunit installed.

All three packages were correctly updated and I was warned of the removal of jsunit as expected. After that I was able to cleanly remove jsunit.

After the update thunderbird functioned normally, including the following features: localization (French in my case), calendar, WeTransfer file link, import of existing enigmail settings into Thunderbird's new builtin GPG support.

For what it is worth, this problem is now back -- very soon need the Thunderbird 91.3 installed into Ubuntu as 78.x is about at EOL. Debian have already prepared their packages in Sid (91.2.1 and 91.3.x no doubt shortly to follow). They also offer firefox-esr and do similar work with that packaging.

I recall there was a suggestion/bug/discussion about sharing resources on ESR for at least Thunderbird, to save duplicate resources, not sure where that got to.
I am writing to this bug just to notify likely-relevant people, but if this isn't happening and needs a bug-report, please start a new bug report and link it to this bug, as this has got long and complex already!.
