Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
In a system we had "export DEBUG=1" (not related to Thunderbird,
for other reasons)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
After investigating reading /usr/bin/thunderbird :
"unset DEBUG" fixed the problem
* What was the outcome of this action?
Exporting DEBUG=1 makes "thunderbird" launcher to not launch
Thunderbird (and to not say anything)
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Thunderbird to work, and if it doesn't work should indicate why
not.
* Possible solutions:
-In the beginning of /usr/bin/thunderbird: perhaps do "unset DEBUG DEBUGGER"
(and other variables?)
-Perhaps rename all the variables into THUNDERBIRD_DEBUGGER,
THUNDERBIRD_DEBUG, THUNDERBIRD_SHOW_BACKUP, etc. to avoid "generic
names" to conflict?
-At the end of the file if ${DEBUG} == 1 but ${DEBUGGER} == "": it
exits the launcher without launching and without saying anything: say
something? (it would have solved the problem but it would have been
easier to fix it)
-Assume that this was a user problem and we should not have had
DEBUG=1 set everywhere :-)
