Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Installing the extension "Lightning" really screws up the UI of
Thunderbird: certain dialogs are missing information (such as the
specific hours when selecting workweek times), the calendars don't
display properly at all (always appear to be a single column with no
date), and various other abnormalities. I found that the issue is the
package libstdc++5 is required for proper functioning of lightning. The
package lightning-extension requires libstdc++6, but this does not
satisfy the extension and make it properly work. Furthermore, any
requirements placed on that package are not going to be applied if a
user installs the extension from Mozilla, which is how most users
install Thunderbird extensions. I don't know why libstdc++6 does not
work for Lightning; perhaps if someone could figure that out we could
patch either libstdc or Thunderbird in some way.
