Same problem appears in the Raw Hide 20000212 versions: 241303 Feb 11 20:19 fetchmail-5.2.7-2.i386.rpm 24400 Feb 11 20:19 fetchmailconf-5.2.7-2.i386.rpm Fixed in 5.2.8 The fetchmailconf bug was not fixed in version 1.21 of the script.
I found a kludge which fixes it (replacing one line in the script).
Here are the diffs, which you can use in a patch, until the official patch is
released:

Patch to fetchmailconf script (version 1.21) to fix this bug
Eric Raymond has come up with a different fix of the fetchmailconf script in fetchmail-5.3.0-1.i386.rpm, which you can find at: ftp://ftp.ccil.org/pub/esr/fetchmail/ if you are not willing ro wait for the "official" RH release. Red Hat Linux 6.2 included 5.3.1. Did this not fix the problem? |
fetchmailconf After updating from fetchmailconf-5.2.3-2.i386.rpm fetchmail-5.2.3-2.i386.rpm to fetchmail-5.2.5-1.i386.rpm fetchmailconf-5.2.5-1.i386.rpm I get the following errors when trying to use fetchmailconf: Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/python/python-root/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 764, in __call__ return apply(self.func, args) File "/usr/bin/fetchmailconf", line 758, in save fm.write(`self.configuration`) File "/usr/bin/fetchmailconf", line 56, in __repr__ str = str + repr(site) File "/usr/bin/fetchmailconf", line 185, in __repr__ return self.dump(TRUE) File "/usr/bin/fetchmailconf", line 119, in dump str = str + (" via " + str(self.via) + "\n"); TypeError: call of non-function (type string) In addition, fetchmail-5.2.5-1 invoked with the option fetchmail -k repeatedly fetched the same message from my pop3 server, whereas fetchmail-5.2.3-2 left the message on the server and did not fetch it again (I was running fetchmail -k via cron, since fetchmailconf did not offer the option to leave messages on the server). I reverted to fetchmail-5.2.3-2.i386.rpm fetchmailconf-5.2.3-2.i386.rpm and everything went back to normal. Regards, -- Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.
