this AddOn is simply not copied into the Debian tree while package
built, that's all we do to not include it within the package. But it's
referenced within the omni.ja file, that's why you see this message.

The message is purely a cosmetically thing and completely harmless. For
me right now I wont put energy into this minor thing as it takes hours
to fix just a message that is only visible if a user has opened the dev
tools.
My guess and feeling is that there are more such minor things.

I'm open of course for patches that modify the source so this AddOn
isn't built into the omni.ja archive.

Bug#982670: wetransfer is incompletely disabled in thunderbird

2021-02-13 Thread Alain Knaff

Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:78.7.0-1~deb10u1

Hi,

In its attempt to stay afloat, thunderbird bundles a number of unwanted
extensions with its standard build.

Debian has disabled these, which is a good thing.

However, unfortunately the wetransfer extension has been disabled in an
incomplete way, by just removing the xpi. Thunderbird still attempts to
call it though, as witnessed by the following entry in the error console
(accessible via Tools->DeveloperTools->ErrorConsole):

1613201754313	addons.xpi	WARN	Can't get modified time of 
/usr/lib/thunderbird/features/wetrans...@extensions.thunderbird.net.xpi


Regards,

Alain
