This problem is not at all related to separate repositories. + +Rather that one package was updated, and an optional installed module +was not. +The fact that the module is optional is the key point. +The installer should be flexible enough to give a warning in this case, +and ask if you wish to continue the installation. +As well, in the case of Thunderbird, it is almost certain that the +installed module was in fact compatible with newer version of +Thunderbird. (A security problem may directly impact Thunderbird or the +module, but highly unlikely both packages.) +Rpm tags should have been set so that Thunderbird would recognize that +the module was appropriate in the newer version. +So in sum, this was probably only a packaging problem.
