Depois de aplicar as atualizações sugeridas (179), uma mensagem de erro no final do processo sugeriu que eu executasse o apt-get install -f.
Como é uma instalação bastante nova do Ubuntu (x86), ainda não configurei nada no Thunderbird. Mensagens de erro diferentes (ver detalhes) foram geradas com o processo -f:
~$ sudo apt-get install -f
