Hello

I tried upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 but the update aborted at the end because of an issue with the Thunderbird - I think the transition to snap.

Now the Software updater says:

"The package system is broken. The following packages have unmet dependencies: thunderbird-locale-en: Depends: thunderbird (>= 2:1snap1-0ubuntu3) but 1:115.18.0+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 is installed"

And the Synaptic package manager says:

"Transitional package - thunderbird-locale-en -> thunderbird snap This is a transitional dummy package. It can safely be removed. thunderbird-locale-en is now replaced by the thunderbird snap."

Thunderbird is running fine, as version 115.18.0 (esr channel, deb installation, according to what I see in the snapstore).

I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 and keep my well functioning Thunderbird! But I have no idea what to do.

Thanks for any help!
