Description Marcus Klein 2006-08-03 07:33:17 UTC

If I update mozilla-thunderbird it gives the following message:

Removing old installs though some really ugly code.  It potentially
eliminates any problems during the install, however suggestions to
replace this are highly welcome.  Send comments and suggestions to
mozilla@gentoo.org

I don't have a suggestion how to replace this, but the message should also contain, that the installation of x11-plugins/enigmail is deleted. It took me a lot of time to discover, why gpg encryption doesn't work anymore in thunderbird.

Erm not really, it's just that the old enigmail won't work w/ current stable TB.

Comment 2 Marcus Klein 2006-08-03 11:40:51 UTC

And why are always all files of the enigmail package removed from my system after an update of mozilla-thunderbird? Especially the files

/usr/lib64/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome.d/enigmail
/usr/lib64/mozilla-thunderbird/extensions.d/enigmail

and the directory

/usr/lib64/mozilla-thunderbird/extensions/{847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}

Please have a look at line 124 of /usr/portage/mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.5.ebuild.
It reads:
rm -rf ${ROOT}${MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME}
It seems to me that the complete directory /usr/lib64/mozilla-thunderbird is removed and this also removes all files of enigmail.
