enigmail settings migration in Thunderbird 78.3.1 not possible


Hello,

the migration of einigmail settings to OpenPGP in Thunderbird 78.3.1 is not possible.
Code:
Bei der Initialisierung der OpenPGP Infrastruktur in Thunderbird ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.

Der Migrationsassistent kann nicht fortgesetzt werden, wenn die OpenPGP Funktionalität in Thunderbird nicht korrekt initialisiert wurde.
What is the matter?

with regards
Ch. Hanisch

Well, I ran your error message through Google translate. The most plausible reason I can think of is that you haven't set up OpenPGP, or that your OpenPGP set up is broken. Enigmail used GnuPG to provide OpenPGP support. I suspect that if the migration wizard did not work, you will be better served by setting up encryption from scratch and importing your keys manually.

You've probably already perused https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...-howto-and-faq

With newest Thunderbird 78.5.1-1.el8_3 the Migration failed with:

In
Bearbeiten -> Konten-Einstellungen -> Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung -> OpenPGP is missing; only S/MIME

What is the reason for that?

Hello,

I have now from https://www.thunderbird-mail.de/herunterladen/
the 'thunderbird-78.6.0.tar.bz2' downloaded and unpacked in ~/thunderbird.

It works well from ~/thunderbird/thunderbird

Ergo in CentOS-Repos is Thunderbird buggy.

with regards
