I guess you mean something like 'strace -f thunderbird'.
I've considered that but I'm concerned regarding the redaction required to the resulting file before submission. Suggestions regarding what might be wise to redact would be helpful.

Suggestions regarding what might be > wise to redact would be helpful. If you are worried about it, you can submit the log via mozilla@gentoo.org and we will review it privately. In an attempt to investigate further I copied the rootfs and email folders to another host, upgraded thunderbird using the bin-pkg created earlier, disconnected the network and ran thunderbird from the shell. It loaded and displayed the GUI without error. On close examination of the original system it became apparent that the rootfs media was suffering data corruptions. I have now recovered the rootfs from a backup onto different media and upgraded thunderbird successfully. Thank you all for your help. |
