Description Dave Allan 2012-02-13 02:28:17 UTC
If I forget that offlineimap is already running and start it again, it triggers abrt.  IMO, it should just exit with an error.

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2012-02-14 12:07:22 UTC
offlineimap-6.5.2.1-1.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16.

Comment 2 Dave Allan 2012-02-14 19:13:00 UTC
I've installed offlineimap-6.5.2.1-1.fc16, and it appears to be working fine, although now it allows me to start two instances of offlineimap simultaneously.  I haven't let them actually synchronize at the same time because I'm not sure that this is intentional.  Is this expected behavior?

Comment 3 Dave Allan 2012-02-14 19:13:31 UTC
(I ought to have said first: thanks for the very quick turnaround!)

Comment 4 Christoph Höger 2012-02-15 10:30:23 UTC
If you have multiple accounts, IMO yes, this is intended. If you don't this is probably a bug with the locking (you should get an "could not lock account" error).

Comment 5 Fedora Update System 2012-02-15 11:35:18 UTC
Package offlineimap-6.5.2.1-1.fc16:
* should fix your issue,
* was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository,
* should be available at your local mirror within two days.
Update it with:
# su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing offlineimap-6.5.2.1-1.fc16'
as soon as you are able to.
Please go to the following url:

then log in and leave karma (feedback).

Ok, cool; yes, if I let it try to sync an account twice simultaneously I do see the "could not lock account" message.  I used it all day yesterday with no evident problems.  I'll keep an eye on it today and give karma if I don't see any problems.

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2012-12-23 03:57:59 UTC
offlineimap-6.5.2.1-1.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
