Description Fabrice Bellet 2002-03-06 14:54:47 UTC
Since I upgraded from glibc-2.2.90-3 to glibc-2.2.90-8,
mutt (1.2.5.1-1) fails to write mailbox back when running as regular
user (ok as root) :

Write failed!  Saved partial mailbox to /tmp/mutt.bellet-bonobo-20478

Relevant part of the strace :

Umh, for me it's vice versa, it works as a mortal user but fails as root.

Write failed!  Saved partial mailbox to /tmp/mutt.root-danielle-1032

Anyway, just noticed that todays rawhide (03/12) has 2.2.5-26 and a LOT
of packages updated ! Are we to assume that we have to use --force to
downgrade version numbers !?

Comment 2 Mario Mikocevic 2002-03-13 06:59:03 UTC
It works with 2.2.5-26 ->

# rpm -Uvh --force glibc-2.2.5-26.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.2.5-26.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.5-26.i386.rpm
