John, the reason why it looks like a Thunderbird bug is that it appears that the Thunderbird package installs a thunderbird and a mozilla- thunderbird link in /usr/bin, both pointing to /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird. If you remove the mozilla-thunderbird link, it resolves the problem. So steps to reproduce:
cd /usr/bin sudo ln -s ../lib/thunderbird/thunderbird mozilla-thunderbird If you now go to System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications, you will see both a "Thunderbird" option and a "Mozilla Thunderbird" one. If you remove the /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird link, the second option disappears from preferred applications. It looks like the /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird link that is created when installing the thunderbird package is superfluous. Or is this the intended behaviour and does it mean that the preferred applications preference tool should show only one option even if both links are present? -- After installing Thunderbird, preferred applications shows both "Mozilla Thunderbird" and "Thunderbird" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
