This is really bad news!!!

Do you have any more detailed info? Like...
What exactly has changed in the packaging?
Why a profile won't work as it is?
Why removing the Lightning accounts, upgrading, and adding them back is 
not enough?
What about deleting "calendar-data"?
Is this a FreeBSD specific issue?
Will installations without other "extensions building on Lightning" show 
the problem?
Any interaction with bug 215348 (1)? I'm still using that patch.
Anything else?

Since I cannot afford to recreate my profile from scratch right now, I'm 
willing to dig a little into this and see if I can get around it. Any 
pointer would help...



Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying I don't appreciate your work; in fact 
I really do and feel very grateful.


  bye & Thanks
