460972 - All events and tasks functionality is blocked (can't use lightning)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 408367

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Juan David Hoyos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092510 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.3
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.17 (20080925), Lightning/0.9

Suddenly, I can't:
- see/create/modify calendars
- create/modify events of my calendars
- create/modify tasks
- on Mail view, the right Events/Tasks pane is empty (not even current datetime)

I know for storage.sdb all my data is still in place, but who knows why it isn't showed to be used. I've been using it happily for about 2 months now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just open up Thunderbird and it happens.

Currently I've been unable to certanly know how I got into this stage but the last major changes/events on my system were:
- Last week, I closed normally Thunderbird and left my PC on. Over night there was a power failure on building and on the next day it all started to happen.
- Later, made a linux kernel upgrade. Through Ubuntu all goes automatically and clean.
Actual Results:  
On Error console I find the following repeatedly:

Error: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/calendar/datetime;1'] has no properties

Install the required libstdc++5 package and reinstall Lightning afterwards
 or
Use the Lightning build from the Ubuntu repositories instead
