Package: conky Version: 1.4.9-1 Severity: normal After upgrading to 1.4.9, the mail counts stopped working for me. In my .conkyrc, I have:
mail_spool /home/np/Maildir After some debugging, it appears that the upstream-merged 'multiple mailbox patch' broke this. the update_mail_count() function was changed to use mail->box as its target as opposed to current_mail_spool. However, mail->box only ever gets set to the value of $MAIL. This means that setting mail_spool has no effect on changing the mail spool/dir that conky is checking - it always uses $MAIL no matter what. It can be worked around by setting $MAIL to what I want mail_spool to be, but the patch as applied upstream does appear broken. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.20 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages conky depends on: ii libc6 2.7-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libiw29 29-1 Wireless tools - library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.1-3 X11 damaged region extension libra ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar conky recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Nathan Poznick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
