Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:78.5.1-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The Thunderbird startup script /usr/bin/thunderbird has a quoting error that
makes debug mode unusable.

When executing

/usr/bin/thunderbird -g

the following is printed:

INFO  -> Starting Thunderbird with GDB ...
INFO  -> LANG= /usr/bin/gdb -ex handle SIG38 nostop -ex handle SIGPIPE nostop
-ex run /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird
/usr/bin/thunderbird: line 252: /usr/bin/gdb -ex handle SIG38 nostop -ex handle
SIGPIPE nostop -ex run /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird : No such file or
directory

The reason for this error are missing quotes around the gdb commands specified
after each -ex argument.

When running gdb+thunderbird like this, it will work:

/usr/bin/gdb -ex "handle SIG38 nostop" -ex "handle SIGPIPE nostop" -ex "run"
/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird

Please add the missing quotes.

Thank you.
