Thunderbird Mail 102.01?

[Şerban S.]

Good day Serban, Jerry,

Is such repository ppa script meant to be run on any Series, or only on 6.x ones, otherwise it might break somehow the system configuration?

I'm 5.x same as Vint tells us in his profile he is. I dont recall if he upgraded to 6.0 or not.

Thank you in advance for your great support!

The problem is less about the PPA.
The problem is IF the Thunderbird 102.3.0 is compatible with the version of the OS.
Now, to find if it does, you can do this:

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade thunderbird

IF and only IF Thunderbird 102.3 is compatible with Linux Lite 5.x (for now, 5.8, the latest release of the 5.x series), you will get the upgrade. Else, you will get some message like "Nothing to upgrade" or "You already have the latest version" which means that the current version (102.3.0) has dependencies specific to the Linux Lite 6.x series (Ubuntu 22.x). The same applies to FireFox.

This is how it looks on my computer:

Code:

sudo apt upgrade thunderbird

The following packages have been kept back:

  speech-dispatcher-audio-plugins speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

Notice the line:
thunderbird is already the newest version

As you can see, nothing bad happens.

All the best!
