Package: icedove Version: 1.5.0.7-3 Followup-For: Bug #393123 This morning, I've got a lot of people complaining that thunderbird doesn't start anymore.
Starting thunderbird yields the following error: run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute /usr/lib/icedove/thunderbird-bin. Look, I've been promoting Debian stable and unstable, as well as Firefox and Thunderbird, to a number of companies and people. This is my personal reputation and job we are talking about. I'm very pissed about the way users are ending up as victims of this stupid fight between the Debian Project and the Mozilla Corporation. Now I can go and explain to all these people what is happening to their browser and email client, and all I can tell them is that it's a geek pissing contest. This is ridiculous, and seriously undermines the faith many of us have been trying to instill in people and business concerning Debian, Mozilla and the whole Open Source Software world. While the Mozilla Corporation is equally to blame for the current situation, I have serious doubts about the way it is being handled by the Debian Project. You are allowed to have principles and guidelines, but you also have a responsability towards the many users, system administrators and promoters of your distribu! tion. Your decisions and fights have more consequences than you seem to realise or care for. Please understand that you're playing risky games with your (Debian's) and OSS's reputation when you try to come up with half-assed and immature solutions to this sort of problems. Wake up, the world is bigger than the DFSG and some Mozilla Corporation idiots.
