Description of problem: Attempting to delete messages from normal-user mailbox in mutt says "mailbox is read-only" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mutt-1.9.5-2.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: Attempt to delete message in mutt. Steps to Reproduce: 1. run mutt 2. display message in /var/spool/mail mailbox 3. press "d". Actual results: Message "Mailbox is read-only". Message not deleted. Expected results: Message should be deleted. Additional info: Seems to be related to the upgrade (this morning) to mutt-1.9.5. Deleting the message in "mailx" works fine.
Hi, thank you for submitting your bug report. I'm going to look at it.
Hi, the problem seems to be that USE_DOTLOCK became enabled in this release. Could you please test the fix [1] ? [1] https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/2943/26442943/mutt-1.9.5-4.fc28.x86_64.rpm [2] https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26442942
Matej: yes, the RPM you provided does fix the behavior I described. Thank you. Additional: I notice the man page for mutt mentions /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock, describing it as "The privileged dotlocking program". This is not in the RPM (either new or old). I haven't researched this further.
Thank you. The mutt_dotlock is not shipped in fedora. We probably should patch the man page to reflect this fact.
