Title: thunderbird-68.6.0-1 not starting
Post by: RandomUser on 12 April 2020, 15:07:23
Hello,

thunderbird-68.6.0-1 is not starting at the moment because it is linked to /usr/lib/libffi.so.6
but /usr/lib/libffi.so.7 is in the repository at the moment.
A working hotfix until the problem is proper solved:
Code: [Select]
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libffi.so /usr/lib/libffi.so.6
Makes thunderbird-68.6.0-1 work again.

hi, thunderbird is maintaining by archlinux, not by us and it was updated.

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/thunderbird&id=93496675efd88d083d9c3aaa69c4160a4044ab40

it's not our fault , that you select  a 'out-of-sync' mirror for your archlinux's update  ;)

In /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
change ## Worldwide to
Server = http://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
