I'm trying to install Thunderbird 11 on Kubuntu 10.04. I was able to do it on the machine I'm working on. To get a clean process that I can roll out to other clients, I re-installed the machine and repeated the process. This is what I did (I've left out the sudo for clarity):

add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa
apt-get update
add-apt-repository ppa:mozilla-team/thunderbird-stable

The last one resulted in this error:

Error: can't find signing_key_fingerprint at https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~mozilla-team/+archive/thunderbird-stable

The machine as it was before re-installation gave no such message. It was built from the same sources.

Bottomline: I got Thunderbird 11.0 to run on Kubuntu 10.04 but after re-installation, adding the repository gives an error and won't add. Is there a way to solve the signing_key_fingerprint error?
