Description José Jorge 2015-08-13 10:03:44 CEST

After the update of the system, the agenda lightning still started, but was not localized.

Extensions manager then indicated that lightning 3.3 is not compatible with thunderbird 38.1.

I worked around the problem removing the rpm thunderbird-lightning-3.3-6.mga5 and adding the extension through extensions manager.

Hi José.  I think the real bug here is that your existing thunderbird-lightning-3.3-6.mga5 package should have been automatically removed by rpmdrake upon your system update as Lightning is now going to be bundled by default with *all* Thunderbird installations from version 38 onwards.

I'm not a Lightning user.  I've never used it.  So imagine my surprise when after installing the same update, I suddenly had an agenda side panel I'd never seen before.  At the bottom of my screen was a button bar asking to "Disable", "Keep", or get "Learn More" about the extension.  Clicking "Learn More" leads to the following release from Mozilla:

Lightning is now a part of Thunderbird,  you just have to enable it.  You shouldn't install any external extension for it anymore.
