Severity: normal

mozilla-thunderbird would fail on dist-upgrade :

and then, mozilla-thunderbird-locale-fr becomes somehow uninstallable:

[root@auguste /home/remi]# apt-get install

Vous pouvez lancer « apt-get -f install » pour corriger ces problèmes.
Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites :
  mozilla-thunderbird-locale-fr: Dépend: mozilla-thunderbird (>= 0.9)
  mais 0.8-3 estinstallé
E: Dépendances manquantes. Essayez d'utiliser l'option -f.

'apt-get -f install' then succeeded in upgrading both
mozilla-thunderbird and mozilla-thunderbird-locale-fr.

Is this reproducible for you? I mean downgrading to 0.8-3 and then again
upgrading fails?
Or maybe 1. removing tbird, installing 0.8-3, upgrading leads to the
same problem for you?

Just reproduced this. I can confirm this. Appears to be a bug in the
preinst maintainer script.
I will try to upload a fix ASAP.

Closes: 282186 282505 282506
Changes:
 mozilla-thunderbird (0.9-6) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * fixed bug in preinst script by strictly testing
     the existance of files before invoking mv
     operations (Closes: 282186)
   * fixed stupid upgrade bug in preinst script.
     ls uses now -d to produce no garbage when
     used as source for moving. This closes
     a bug reported against enigmail, but is a
     bug of the thunderbird package. This release
     fixes it (Closes: 282505)
   * still missing reply for current grave bug
     282506. I think this is...
