Comment 29 for bug 1895643

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  « Note: due to the massive and rapid changes in the Mozilla Platform, TinyJSD is no longer actively maintained.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.
