Comments #17 and #24 closed this bug report as being invalid but it was
reopened as many users required a version of Lightning in a language
other than English which could at the time of reporting only be obtained
from the Thunderbird web-site.
There have been no comments here for almost a year.
Hey, Thunderbird maintainer here.
While Ubuntu can of course keep the packages for thunderbird and
lightning separate, please make sure to at least add "Recommends: xul-
ext-lightning" to the thunderbird package as this is the expected
configuration. (Or whatever makes it install lightning at the

Title:
Lightning
When I tried installing xul-ext-lightning , I got blocked, whether via
the Synaptic Package manager or Software Center or using apt from the
command-line. The essence of the error message was:
xul-ext-lightning: Depends: thunderbird (= 1:38.6.0+build1-0ubuntu1) but
It was broken for me also and comments from #3 and #4 helped. Calendar

Hey, in my case the steps to fix it were as follows:

I'm affected too and thanks to the users here - especially piraten-kris

It was a bad suprise to start Thunderbird after regular Ubuntu update
with missing core-functionality. And it is very hard and time consuming
for an user to discover which SW-part

I was very surprised to have such a blocking bug with regular Ubuntu updates.
Here is my fix :

- download latest Thunderbird tarball (v 60.2.1)
- extract it to a dir

This is ridiculous: If you go to https://bugs.launchpad.net

you will only find two many years old bugs, which have never been closed.

There is an updated lightning package in the archive, but there isn't a

I'm lucky enough to use english so installing xul-ext-lightning from the

I did however have to remove the old lightning addon using the

Recent versions of Thunderbird (at least the version packaged /
distributed by Mozilla) has come pre-installed with Lightning; this is
why the extension hasn't been updated on addons.mozilla.org.
The version of Thunderbird installable from the standard Ubuntu
repositories is packaged by Ubuntu.
The solution with installing the package xul-ext-lightning definitely
works, having one issue: the only language it contains is English, which
looks very uncool to have a mixed language Thunderbirds for users using
that in other language than English.
Solution B:

One (temporary) option is also to downgrade Thunderbird back to the previous
version (in my case 52.7).
I used 'Synaptic Package Manager' to downgrade and lock in the old version.
I'll wait a while before updating.

possibility
