The upstream provider decided to remove OpenGPG support in its thunderbird-78 packages, see

recommending to either use Mozilla binaries, use Flatpak or switch to Evolution

Is there any plan to provide thunderbird-78-full packages in e.g. EPEL, ELRepo or somewhere else (like firefox-esr in Ubuntu) or should we use Mozilla binaries?

Thank you in advance!

One thought on - Thunderbird 78

  • Apart from Flatpak or mozilla binary, one other (ugly, I know) solution is still to just use the rpm pkg from distro but just extract librnp.so from upstream thunderbird pkg, put it in place (so that it doesn’t complain about missing .so file needed for the openpgp functions to work) ……
