Comment 14 for bug 872639

This bug was fixed in the package thunderbird - 8.0~b2+build1-0ubuntu1

---------------
thunderbird (8.0~b2+build1-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release from the beta channel (THUNDERBIRD_8_0b2_BUILD1)

  * Update messagingmenu-extension to 0.8.1
  * Update eds extension to 0.3.8 (r96)
    - Fix LP: #872639 - Cannot open book: Could not create DesktopcouchSession
      object. Don't display errors from evolution-data-server for now, as
      they make Thunderbird unusable. Note, this doesn't fix the actual bug
      with desktopcouch
    - Fix LP: #863150 - Endless loop with password prompt
  * Provide a useful error message when trying to build the source package
    with an out of date control file
    - update debian/rules
  * Provide a way to prevent the source package from being built if the list
    of shipped locales changed upstream. Note that this is disabled on
    nightly and aurora
    - update debian/rules
    - add debian/extract-file.py
  * Move custom scripts to debian/scripts
    - move debian/get-xpi-id.py to debian/scripts/get-xpi-id.py
    - move debian/refresh-supported-locales.pl to
       debian/scripts/refresh-supported-locales.pl
    - move debian/extract-file.py to debian/scripts/extract-file.py
    - update debian/rules
  * Shrink the default mozconfig right down so that we use mostly upstream
    defaults, rather than overriding them with our own options. It is still
    possible to override them though. We also drop the pkg-config checks in
    debian/rules which allowed a fallback build configuration when dependencies
    aren't satisfied. Really, the build should just fail here rather than
    continuing in some undesirable fallback mode
    - update debian/thunderbird-dev.links.in
    - update debian/mozconfig.in
    - update debian/control.in
    - update debian/rules
  * Refresh build-depends, as this hasn't been done for a while:
    - Drop patchutils, libxft-dev, libxinerama-dev, libgnome2-dev, sharutils
      and bzip2. These don't appear to be needed
    - Drop liborbit2-dev - only appears to be required if there is no libidl
    - Add libglib2.0-dev, libext-dev, libfontconfig1-dev and libpango1.0-dev,
      as the configure script checks for these directly
    - Add minimum versions to libgconf2-dev, libgnomevfs2-dev, yasm and
      libgnomeui-dev
    - Specify minimum versions for libnspr4-dev, libcairo2-dev, libsqlite3-dev
      and libnss3-dev when using system versions of those libs
  * Disable gconf support on >= 12.04
    - update debian//rules
    - update debian/mozconfig.in
  * Refresh binary dependencies:
    - Drop psmisc and fontconfig depends. We don't use any binaries
      from either of these packages
    - Drop debianutils dependency. This is an essential package
  * Introduce a branch config file (debian/config/branch.mk) which holds
    settings which shouldn't be merged between branches (eg, whether
    the crash reporter should be enabled)
    - add debian/config/branch.mk
    - update debian/rules
  * Move debian/locales.* to debian/config
    - move debian/locales.shipped => debian/config/locales.shipped
    - move debian/locales.unavail => debian/config/locales.unavail
    - update debian/rules
    - update debian/build/refresh-supported-locales.pl
  * Move debian/mozconfig.in to debian/config
  * Move debian/testsuite.mk to debian/build
  * We need to keep the complete list of language packs (shipped and
    transitional) in sync between branches. However, this was proving to be
    difficult because the list was split across 2 files (locales.shipped
    and locales.unavailable). Rework this so that we have a locales.all
    (containing the list of current and past language packs), and a
    locales.shipped. The locales.all can be easily kept in sync between
    branches now, so we end up with the correct transitional language packs
    on branches which have some languages disabled. This also makes it
    more complicated to add the language packs to debian/control though, so
    we offload this to a new perl script now rather than trying to do it all
    in bash
    - add debian/build/dump-langpack-control-entries.pl
    - update debian/build/refresh-supported-locales.pl
    - add debian/config/locales.all
    - update debian/config/locales.shipped
    - remove debian/config/locales.unavailable
    - update debian/control
    - update debian/rules
  * Touch debian/control.in during clean to force a refresh of debian/control,
    so we can check if it is out-of-date and fail if it is
    - update debian/rules
  * Refresh patches:
    - update debian/patches/ctypes-callback-reentry-fix.patch
    - update debian/patches/theme-refresh-compose-toolbar-icons.patch
    - update debian/patches/theme-refresh-message-header-buttons.patch
  * Ensure that we get the correct package relationships depending on the
    target distro version
    - update debian/control.in
    - update debian/rules
    - refresh debian/control
  * Drop the mozilla-devscripts dependency. We were only using this for creating
    tarballs anyway. Instead, implement our own get-orig-source target, which
    also fixes some problems we were having
    - update debian/control.in
    - remove debian/moz-rev.sh
    - update debian/rules
    - remove debian/mozclient/mozclient.mk
    - remove debian/mozclient/thunderbird.conf
    - update debian/config/branch.mk
    - add debian/build/create-source.py
    - add debian/build/get-orig-source.mk
    - remove debian/mozclient/thunderbird-remove.binonly.sh
  * Drop the 'nobinonly' suffix from the version number. All this really does
    is make the version number longer without adding any useful information,
    because:
    - We don't strip all binary files as there are a lot remaining which are
      used by the test-suite (eg, images, fonts, videos, sqlite dbs, extensions)
    - Stripping binary files from the source tarball isn't the only change we
      make to it. We also merge in the upstream l10n data, but we don't
      indicate that in the version number
  * Don't error out whilst building the source package if cdbs isn't installed.
    This enables us to create source packages on lillypilly
    - update debian/rules
  * Keep a copy of shipped-locales outside of the embedded tar.bz2. This
    makes it faster to verify the list of shipped locales when creating
    source packages
    - update debian/build/create-tarball.py
    - update debian/build/extract-file.py
    - update debian/rules
  * When calling refresh-supported-locales, automatically refresh
    debian/control too
    - update debian/rules
  * Dropped patches fixed upstream:
    - remove debian/patches/theme-refresh-toolbar-and-tab-colours.patch
    - remove debian/patches/theme-refresh-smaller-resize-grips-1.patch
    - remove debian/patches/theme-refresh-smaller-resize-grips-2.patch
    - remove debian/patches/build-fix-for-no-ENABLE_YARR_JIT.patch
    - remove debian/patches/compile-pldhash-as-C++.patch
  * Don't fail to create the tarball if locales listed in all-locales don't
    really exist upstream. We already check that everything in shipped-locales
    exists
    - update debian/create-tarball.py
  * Pass --comm-rev to client.py when specifying a release tag
    - update debian/build/create-tarball.py
  * Don't fail to create a tarball when not using a local cache
    - update debian/build/create-tarball.py
