Package: mail-notification Version: 5.4.dfsg.1-1 Severity: normal This version of mail-notification does not seem to update when the status of my system mailbox (/var/mail/alex) changes.
In a previous version (was in sid, but I don't remember the version number), this worked fine. Now, however, mail-notification shows my system mailbox status properly when starting up, but any changes (new mail arriving, mailbox being emptied) are not reported. If I change the m-n mailbox type to autodetect, enter /var/mail/alex as the location, then hit OK, m-n updates the mailbox's status once, but again doesn't update if new mail arrives or mail is removed from the mailbox. It seems as though m-n is expecting some kind of notification that is never delivered. According to lsof, one of m-n's file descriptors is inotify; perhaps it's using inotify for my local mailbox and that's not working for some reason? I'm honestly not sure what the problem is. My MTA is Postfix and my MDA is procmail, which delivers into a mailbox in mbox format, if that helps. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstable http.us.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ======================================-+-=============== libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.18) | 2.3.20-2 libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0) | 1.22.0-1 libbonobo2-0 (>= 2.15.0) | 2.22.0-1 libbonoboui2-0 (>= 2.15.1) | 2.22.0-1 libc6 (>= 2.7-1) | 2.7-15 libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4) | 1.6.4-6.1 libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2) | 1.2.1-3 libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.71) | 0.76-1 libgconf2-4 (>= 2.13.5) | 2.22.0-1 libglade2-0 (>= 1:2.6.1) | 1:2.6.2-1 libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0) | 2.16.6-1 libgmime-2.0-2a | 2.2.22-2 libgnome-keyring0 (>= 2.22.0) | 2.22.3-2 libgnome2-0 (>= 2.17.3) | 2.20.1.1-1 libgnomecanvas2-0 (>= 2.11.1) | 2.20.1.1-1 libgnomeui-0 (>= 2.17.1) | 2.20.1.1-2 libgnomevfs2-0 (>= 1:2.17.90) | 1:2.22.0-5 libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0) | 2.12.11-3 libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0) | 2:1.0.4-1 libnotify1 (>= 0.4.4) | 0.4.4-3 libnotify1-gtk2.10 | liborbit2 (>= 1:2.14.10) | 1:2.14.13-0.1 libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.20.3) | 1.20.5-2 libpopt0 (>= 1.14) | 1.14-4 libsasl2-2 | 2.1.22.dfsg1-23 libsm6 | 2:1.0.3-2 libx11-6 | 2:1.1.5-2 libxml2 (>= 2.6.27) | 2.6.32.dfsg-4 zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) | 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 gnome-icon-theme | 2.22.0-1 notification-daemon | 0.3.7-1+b1 libgnomevfs2-extra (>= 2.18) | 1:2.22.0-5 gconf2 (>= 2.10.1-2) | 2.22.0-1
