@Martin, please keep statement like 'just because a developer doesn't want to' outside of the bug tracker, launchpad is a work place not an user forum.
The statement is also not respectul of the people working on those snaps, thunderbird is still available as a deb, is going to be updated and you are free to keep using the deb. And to reply to your point, debs are more likely to get a deprecated version of a library in use than snaps since they have no real choice than to follow what the distribution provides. Typically Bionic wouldn't get a new gtk serie but snaps could easily bundle the current gtk stable version or use the corresponding platform. -- 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/1850064 Title: Please upgrade it to 68.x on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Now the official upgrade way from 60 to 68 got open by mozilla.
