Closing this as a non-bug.

The people in the Librem One team needing this tool no longer work for Purism, so there is noone who can provide feedback if the tool is working as intended, and I have therefore stopped caring.

based on the conversation, this issue is solved.

seems from the conversation that this issue is solved.

Sorry, no: Thunderbird disabling plugins on upgrade is a design choice of the application, tied to how they manage plugins. The way to change that is essentially to switch to a different application.

This issue is more than a year old, and tied to byzantium which is (for a little while more) a moving target. I guess this is solved by now - if not then please reopen.

from the conversation here, I assume this issue is solved.

Thanks for sharing your concerns about multiple things being wrong in various ways with PureOS.
Unfortunately batching them together is not actionable: that's not how an issue tracker works.

PureOS is mostly Debian, with only few changes. I suspect that PureOS does not change from Debian for the parts involved in this issue, and it therefore is an issue upstream in Debian.

Please tell if you are using PureOS amber or if you are using PureOS byzantium.

This issue tracker is for issues with PureOS.
Not for issues with non-PureOS packages - e.g. using PPAs or flatpak or Snap.

PureOS is mostly tested with GNOME as desktop.

Thanks for reporting.

I am uncertain if this issue is actionable at all for us - i.e. if we have anyone skilled with KDE to debug this kind of issue, or we should simply give up and close it as a wontfix.

I guess our flatpak expert is @jeremiah.foster - please reassign if I am mistaken.

Packaged for Debian: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dialect

if already available in both releases we currently care about, I guess this is done.

Thanks for these suggestions.

purple-carbons is depended on by librem5-gnome-phone
purple-xmpp-carbons is recommended by chatty.

ok, some points about this:

Seems this was addressed in source package pureos-meta on November 18th 2020.

If anything, I am not using my librem13 at the moment, the only thing I did is install PureOS and updated it, if you need more output of commands, I'l be happy to help))
