921066 - Lightning 2.6 crashes on Thunderbird 24.0; version xul24.0 not defined in file libxul.so

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Calendar :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Peter Keel]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 Iceweasel/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130919022439

Steps to reproduce:

moved the configs away, started up thunderbird 24; installed lightning 2.6, restart



Actual results:

icedove: relocation error: [...]extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/components/Linux_x86-gcc3/libcalbasecomps.so: symbol _ZN2js13CheckedUnwrapEP8JSObjectb, version xul24.0 not defined in file libxul.so with link time reference



Expected results:

should have started. Should probably not use a versioned dependency.

I'm seeing the same thing here: Failed to load native module at path '/home/sander/.thunderbird/wxfgt2ww.default/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/components/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/libcalbasecomps.so': (80004005) /home/soft/thunderbird/libxul.so: version `xul24.0' not found (required by /home/sander/.thunderbird/wxfgt2ww.default/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/components/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/libcalbasecomps.so)

Sander, see bug 925823.

Peter, are you mixing official mozilla.org builds with third-party builds? If yes: don't. Either use the original Thunderbird + Lightning package as provided on mozilla.org or use both packages from your distribution repositories.

Yes, that was it. Reverting back to 24.0 made the calendar work again.

having the same error with icedove 24.4 & lightning 2.6.4 ... forced and update on debian and now regreting...

Seems that updating lightning didn't update the profile right... getting a new profile makes everything work fine... when I open the *old* profile uses iceowl 2.6.4 but with the new one the version 2.6.5

The solution worked in my case was deleting some files:

deleting extensions.* from profile folder, in my case: y4iz0h7m.default/extensions.*

deleting iceowl plugin from the extensions folder in the profile, in my case: y4iz0h7m.default/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}

Confirming this bug, when trying to move a Thunderbird profile to IceDove, IceDove returns the following error message:
icedove: relocation error: [***]/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/components/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/libcalbasecomps.so: symbol _ZN2js13CheckedUnwrapEP8JSObjectb, version xul24 not defined in file libxul.so with link time reference

Using 
* IceDove 24.5.0-1
* Debian 7.5 (wheezy) 64-bit
* Kernel Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64
* Gnome 3.4.2
* Moving using instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_moving-a-profile

Thanks [e-mail] :) Your above comment 6 worked for me

I deleted all the content of "extensions" folder, located at: [***]/.icedove/[***].default/extensions

Thx Phillip :)

Comment 11

[Francewhoa (Francois Carpentier)]

If you're using Icedove on Debian, another solution at https://wiki.debian.org/Icedove#Icedove_and_the_Mozilla_Lightning_Extension

Text version below
--------------------
The Lightning extension from Mozilla isn't usable with Icedove >= version 24! This happen because of different internally lifetime linking inside the extension. So please use the iceowl-extension from the Debian repositories. https://packages.debian.org/iceowl-extension
--------------------

Notes
* "Icedove is an unbranded Thunderbird mail client suitable for free distribution." Such as Debian.
* Thanks to Phillip for the tips
