$ apt-cache policy thunderbird thunderbird: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1:52.9.1-1 Version table: 1:52.9.1-1 500 500 https://repo.puri.sm/pureos green/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
But in the repos a newer version sits beside the 52.9 version:
thunderbird_60.4.0.orig.tar.xz 12-Jan-2019 04:06 285036472
https://repo.puri.sm/pureos/pool/main/t/thunderbird/
How can a user upgrade?
I have not seen Thunderbird version 60 in green since it appeared in buster and PureOS main in November. My understanding was that green was the proper update repository.
I will add more data below but I asked someone in the forum to try it. He saw (post):
sudo apt list thunderbird -a gives me Listing… Done thunderbird/stable,now 1:60.4.0-1~deb9u1 amd64 [installed] thunderbird/stable 1:60.2.1-2~deb9u1 amd64 thunderbird/green,green 1:52.9.1-1 amd64
Note the last line. Apparently, he sees the same thing I do.
My experience is:
<snipped>:~$ sudo apt update [sudo] password for <snipped>: Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/opencpn/opencpn/ubuntu bionic InRelease Hit:2 https://repo.puri.sm/pureos green InRelease Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 8 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them. <snipped>:~$ sudo apt list thunderbird Listing... Done thunderbird/green 1:52.9.1-1 amd64
Hit 1 is only for OpenCPN and is not an ubuntu repository.
Jeremiah asked me what Software yields:
By the way, I added this task at that time, but I closed it after I started just getting Thunderbird v60 from Mozilla.
Looks like the migration is blocked because it would break some older localization packages.
I gave it some manual hints to make the package migrate.
