For what its' worth, the Focal system's provided packages do not meet the following build-deps of the *debian* Thunderbird 91.3.0 package;-
cbindgen (>= 0.19) debhelper-compat (= 13) libnspr4-dev (>= 2:4.32~) libnss3-dev (>= 2:3.68~) nodejs (>= 10.19.0) Merely overriding the version dependencies in debian control file [which can just automatically referring to latest version needlessly] is not sufficient, an internal check *actually* requires e.g. nspr >=4.32 . These packages may need backporting or whatever, or the ubuntu packages may work differently to get around these limitations for building (in any case build-deps and runtime-deps may be another matter...). -- 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/1949605 Title: Backport Thunderbird 91 to 20.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in thunderbird source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in thunderbird source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in thunderbird source package in Hirsute: Confirmed Bug description: Similarly to bug #1895643, which was about upgrading thunderbird from 68 to 78 in all supported Ubuntu releases, this bug is to track the update from thunderbird 78 to 91 in hirsute, focal and bionic. The rationale is that series 78 will soon be out of support (the last release, 78.14.0, was made public on September 7, 2021). Thunderbird follows the Firefox ESR release cycle, and the next/current series is 91 (already available in impish and jammy).
