Indeed. And ctypes.libraryName() doesn't seem to be aware of soname
versions (https://searchfox.org/comm-
central/source/mozilla/js/src/ctypes/Library.cpp#62).
That's a tricky problem though, we can't make thunderbird depend on
every single -dev package just because add-ons might be using the ctypes
module to load external libraries.

Title:
TbSync add-on needs a dependency on libc6-dev (for libresolv.so)
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When trying to get the add-on TbSync to work in combination with the
add-on "Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV", I encountered a mysterious
error message, "status.service-provider-setup-failed".
After getting in touch with the maintainer of these add-ons, it turns
out that this add-on depends upon libresolv.so. Indeed I managed to
resolve the error by manually installing libc6-dev which contains this
so.
Therefore should libc6-dev be a dependency for Thunderbird?
