** Description changed: NOTE: In 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu2, a recursive symlink might have been created. If Thunderbird will not start once you upgrade to 3.0.4 +nobinonly-0ubuntu3, then run 'ls -ld ~/.*thunderbird*' from a terminal. If you see .thunderbird in your home directory linked to itself, remove - the .thunderbird link to itself and mv .thunderbird.upstream to + the .thunderbird link to itself and move .thunderbird.upstream to .thunderbird WORKAROUND for 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu2: Remove the .thunderbird (not .mozilla-thunderbird) symlink in your home directory and mv .thunderbird.upstream to .thunderbird Then create an empty .thunderbird.upstream directory. Thunderbird should launch after that. Binary package hint: thunderbird After an update involving a GB language pack, Thunderbird will not launch at all. I've tried the terminal, Alt+F2 and directly from usr/bin with no success. The System Monitor doesn't show any instance of Thunderbird running. DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04
