Description Jean-Jacques Sarton 2011-11-19 11:39:24 UTC

Description of problem:
thunderbird-enigmail-1.3.2-1.fc15.i686
is not compatible to
thunderbird-8.0-2.fc15.i686

Comment 1 Max Kessler 2011-11-22 00:00:18 UTC

yum -y downgrade thunderbird thunderbird-enigmail

Then, you should add thunderbird, thunderbird-enigmail, and firefox to an exclude list in: /etc/yum.conf

Mozilla has been breaking a lot of stuff lately by issuing a new major release every time one of their programmers sneezes, so this will help keep your system stable for a while.

Or packagers could just provide http://www.mozilla-enigmail.org/download/source/enigmail-1.3.3.tar.gz for Thunderbird 8 as well as holding off on pushing updates until things have actually been tested?

Same problem here on Fedora 16 x86_64 :

Enigmail stops working and Thunderbird is throwing messages from OpenPGP each time a mail is openened/received/edited.

Here is the message : (named OpenPGP)

Enigmail: Enigmime service not available

To permanenty avoid this alert, either fix the problem or uninstall
Enigmail using the OpenPGP -> Preferences menu


In French :

Enigmail : Le service Enigmime n'est pas disponible"




To fix the problem, here is what I did :
- uninstalled Enigmail v1.3.2-1.fc16.1 (64bits) from Fedora Fusion Free repository,
- then in Thunderbird, I searched for "Enigmail" extension
- and installed version 1.3.3 directly into Thunderbird

As a result : it works perfectly.


Maybe this bug has been forwarded to rpmfusion.org's bugzilla :
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2058

bye for now,
Dag

Hi all,

running "sudo yum update --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing thunderbird-enigmail" has fixed the issue for me.

Hi,

- Enigmail 1.3.3 has been pushed in updates for Fedora 16 and runs OK,
- but it has not been pushed for Fedora 15.


By the way Enigmail is NOT a package from Fedora repository but from Fusion repository. So this bug must be reported to https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/ .

I created a new bug report here :
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2070


Bye for now,
Dag
