Upgrade TB 68.12 with enigmail to TB 78.3.1 failed (Tumbleweed)

After the installation of new TB 78.3.1 packages in Tumbleweed the start of the new TB version has stalled without any additional info, no migration of pgp keys was performed.

However, TB perfectly starts in safe-mode with the enigmail extension disabled. Further add-ons / extensions have been deleted to isolate the problem. Obviously, the migration of enigmail data still seems to be pending. In safe-mode I have already used the OpenPGP Key Manager to reinstall my missing keys. Encryption again works successfully.

How can I get rid of the incomplete enigmail migration which seems to block the TB start in normal mode?

In the meantime, I copied my complete profile to an openSUSE Leap 15.2 system with kernel 5.3.18. In this new setup TB 78.3 works fine, even in normal mode.

Therefore, the blocking situation described above has not been caused by any migration problems. It seems to be an incompatibility of the Tumbleweed system (based on kernel 5.8.12) and TB 78.3.
