You haven't proven anything, except that you're hard headed and not willing to learn. Your way or the highway, right?

If it does that for you, and nobody else.. do you still blame the code?

Exactly my point.

apt-get/aptitude is not the end-all-be-all in the Linux world. Sorry to burst your bubble.

We'll see.

Not everyone uses Debian or any *buntu flavor. So while it may help some, it definitely won't help all.

As long as multilib is enabled, 32 bit compiles have always worked fine on 64 bit systems.

That has to do with thunderbird changing something on their end in the latest versions. This would be something someone would probably have to fix and compile themselves. If you're up to the task, by all means go for it.

Good luck.
