[Bug 197518] [NEW] [HARDY] Thunderbird Will Not Start

[Sam Williams]

Public bug reported:

I performed a dist-upgrade to Hardy Heron and I found that in addition
to other problems I was having thunderbird would not start.  When I run
thunderbird I get the following error:

> thunderbird
cd: 128: can't cd to ../lib/thunderbird
/usr/X11R6/bin/thunderbird:183: /usr/X11R6/bin/run-mozilla.sh: not found

upon closer examination it looks like the thunderbird link   located in /usr/X11R6/bin was trying to run the thunderbird script in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/thunderbird which doesn't exist. The script is now located in /usr/lib/thunderbird. I removed the symlink in 
/usr/X11R6/bin/thunderbird and replaced it with the following:

ln -s /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird  thunderbird and now everything
works fine again.
