Binary package hint: thunderbird
I installed this package yesterday night via the software centre. I must have hit the install button twice, because sc attempted to install two instances of thunderbird at the same time. Then it crashed. When I got it back, thunderbird came up as installed, yet when I tried to start it, this morning, via the "applications" launcher, zilch. Nothing. Starting from the terminal returned: "bash: /usr/bin/thunderbird: cannot execute binary file". I then tried to re-install via synaptic, which failed, but generated this bug report. I have now completely removed thunderbird, or attempted to: when I did this synaptic reported that two folders were "not empty" and would not be removed. I am still interested in having this package, any advice on how it might be successfully installed will e gratefully received. I hope these witterings are helpful to someone.

Hello Stephen,
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 774742
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.
