I tried to remove and touch /var/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/extensions/installed-extensions.txt, but nothing worked.

Any idea's?

I uninstalled thunderbird-locale-nl, because it didn't work well...
waiting for the 1.5 version.

to uninstall this I had to edit two files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-thunderbird-locale-nl.postinst and postrm

remove sed -e

and synaptic will uninstall
hope this helps

The same happens for mozilla-thunderbird-locale-de, filed as Bug #29439 (https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29439).

can't we just say that the locale files for mozilla-thunderbird needs to be adressed...

I mean a global bug report..instead of reporting individual locales....

or adjust your's to add nl-NL

When I filed this bug report I wasn't aware that other locales failed to, I only tested the -de version. Also the error messages are slightly different.

Well, everyone can add comments :-)
