Package: icedove
Version: 1:45.1.0-1~deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since Icedove 45, attempting to install an add-on that requires a
browser restart fails with (at the time of restart):

ERROR: Unable to read add-on manifest / NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE

The problem is exactly identical to that of Firefox 45 ESR
-> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827591

The problem is known from upstream (for firefox) as:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1277295

I can confirm that applying (to icedove) the patch mentioned at:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1277295#c17

DOES solve the problem.

I would be nice considering integrating this fix in Debian
patches series.

Thanks and best,

Cédric
