Thanks Stefan for the clarification. I think this tight correlation between Thunderbird and Lightning versions is a real issue for linux distributions. When Thunderbird is distributed through the package manager of the distro, and Lightning installed (and updated) through the add-on manager of Lightning, these versions do not evolve at the same speed. At least on Ubuntu, it seems to be frequently installed like that, because the lightning ubuntu package does not include localization (this is an ubuntu-specific issue : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightning-extension/+bug/930589)
Upgrading to Thunderbird 24.0.1 in every distro appears to be only a temporary solution : if I understood correctly, the incompatibility should re-appear as soon as Lightning 2.6.2 is released? -- 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.
