ried doing a manual update without the GUI using:

Code:

ubuntuzilla.py -a checkforupdatetext -p thunderbird

I then received a response that said I hadn't installed Thunderbird using the Ubuntuzilla script. *a light turned on*

I recently upgraded Ubuntu from Feisty to Gutsy - I guess the upgrade moved in the official version of Thunderbird while my Ubuntuzilla script and cron entries remained.

Since then, I've run this to re-install Thunderbird using the script:
Code:

ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p thunderbird

The install went OK (including a backup of my mail files) except for the PGP key verification. It just couldn't connect...
Code:

Importing Mozilla Software Releases public key

Note that if you have never used gpg before on this system, and this is your first time running this script, there may be a delay of about a minute during the generation of a gpg keypair. This is normal and expected behavior.

Failed to retrieve Mozilla Software Releases Public key from any of the listed keyservers. Please check your network connection, and try again later.

After using the -g option (ignore pgp key verification) It installed OK.
Of course I now have the latest build, so the output from the update:
Code:

ubuntuzilla.py -a checkforupdategui -p thunderbird

gives a response like:
