Description Roderick Johnstone 2011-11-22 12:01:45 UTC

Description of problem:
Provider for Google Calendar bundled with thunderbird-lightning package is incompatible with Thunderbird 8.0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
thunderbird-8.0-2.fc16.x86_64
thunderbird-lightning-1.0-1.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update thunderbird and thunderbird-lightning
2. Open Thunderbird Add-ons manager /Extensions
3.
  
Actual results:
"Provider for Google Calendar is incompatible with Thunderbird 8.0
Provider for Google Calendar 0.9 pre (disabled)"

Expected results:
Provider for Google Calendar should be enabled or able to be enabled.

Additional info:
thunderbird-lightning-1.0-1.fc16.x86_64 seems to ship Provider 0.9pre. 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/versions/ suggests that version 0.9 is needed for compatibility with thunderbird 8.0.

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2011-11-22 16:16:50 UTC

I cannot reproduce this on my machine with (same, but 32-bit):

thunderbird-8.0-2.fc16.i686
thunderbird-lightning-1.0-1.fc16.i686

The install.rdf file for 0.9pre lists compatibility with all 8.* versions.  Are you sure you don't have any manual installs of these around?  Any 32-bit versions?  You restarted thunderbird after any updates?

Comment 2 Roderick Johnstone 2011-11-23 10:46:49 UTC

Yes, I did restart thunderbird.

I couldn't find a manual install of this extension in my account.

I confirmed that there is no problem when using a clean account or new profile.

I removed my other manually installed extensions - problem persists.

Renaming the file extensions.sqlite to extensions.sqlite.off fixed the problem.

Thanks for posting the workaround.
