Comment 10 for bug 1847247

Thanks for the feedback.

Having /usr/lib/thunderbird/dictionaries be a symlink to /usr/share/hunspell was an elegant way to reuse dictionaries installed system-wide instead of re-packaging them specifically for thunderbird.

It's a bit of a shame to loose this functionality, but I understand this wasn't designed specifically with this in mind anyway.

I'll experiment with a distro patch to restore this functionality, and if I come up with something that works and that's not too ugly I'll share it here.

Until then stable releases of Ubuntu are stuck with thunderbird 60.9.0.
