Thunderbird stopped working after latest updates

[grasshopper]

Did nothing but run the latest updates and now Thunderbird won't load..it shows one screen, drawn..but blank.. then hangs.

Wow. buggy software. what's the fix?

What is the output if Thunderbird started from the terminal?

[grasshopper]

Sadly I have to type this in by hand...
[calBackendLoader] Using Thunderbird's builtin libical backend.... and that's 100% of it.

That's weird. Couple of suggestions:

1)Log out and back in, then try again
2) Right-click the Updater icon > History, and copy/paste here what was in that update.
3) Give us the output of this command as regular user

Code: Select all

apt policy thunderbird

Show us the output of the following commands from the terminal command line as normal user.
Do copy/paste the command into the terminal commandline
and copy/paste the text output and post here between [code] the code-tags here [/code].

I don't think we've done any Thunderbird updates for at least a month. If Debian doesn't add the required cargo package to Stretch, and update rustc for 32-bit, we won't be able to build the new 60.X versions from source, either. There has been some chatter about that happening to enable firefox-esr 60 builds by September, but no progress lately.
