pkg_postinst() {
    elog
    elog "If you are experience problems with plugins please issue the"
    elog "following command : rm \${HOME}/.thunderbird/*/extensions.sqlite ,"
    elog "then restart thunderbird"
}


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge thunderbird
2. Read the postinst message
Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Postinst message should not have a grammar error

here, the line 306 is:

newicon "${S}"/other-licenses/branding/thunderbird/content/icon48.png thunderbird-icon.png


Could you explain where you see the error?

Simply need to drop 'are' from the line and it would be fine.
