Description:

After upgrading thunderbird to version 3.0, the program segfaults when run.

This is on a 64 bit machine, and I know alphas of thunderbird 3 previously had problems with 64 bit, but the actual package in extra segfaults for me.

When thunderbird is run this is what is displayed:

OpenOffice path is '/usr/lib/openoffice'
/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 8003 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

I have no idea why it is checking for openoffice or if that is related.
This task depends upon

I'm also using latest extra/thunderbird (version 3.0-1) on x86_64, but haven't had any segfault so far. Could you provide an strace and, if available, any dmesg messages related to the crash?
Comment by Brendan Fahy (f4hy) - Monday, 14 December 2009, 00:50 GMT
After looking through the strace I noticed it crashed right after accessing something in my home directory. So I moved ~/.thunderbird to ~/.thunderbird.bak and then it started up fine. Looks like it must have been an offending plugin or coroupted config. Anyway that means the package is fine, something on my end is messed up. Can be closed. Thanks.
