The previous comments describe the currently expected behavior. The Mozilla toolkit developers introduced a strict dependencies mechanism on Linux that affects extensions with binaries components like Lightning.
Therefore each Thunderbird release currently requires its own Lightning release. Use Lightning 2.6 for Thunderbird 24.0 Use Lightning 2.6.1 for Thunderbird 24.0.1 Use Lightning 2.6.2 for the soon to be released Thunderbird 24.1 There is work going on to loosen up this dependencies mechanism but it will take some time until this patch is available in Thunderbird. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244619 Title: Thunderbird must be upgraded to Thunderbird 24.0.1 for lightning 2.6.1 Status in Lightning extension: Confirmed Status in “lightning-extension” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Gentoo Linux: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” package in openSUSE: Confirmed Bug description: Since the upgrade of Lightning 2.6.0 to Lightning 2.6.1, this extension need Thunderbird 24.0.1 but Ubuntu only give Thunderbird 24.0.0 https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/10/dont-upgrade-to-thunderbird-24-0-1-yet/ "Update 4: Lightning 2.6.1 is now public.
