Package: mb2md
Version: 3.20-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
This script intentionally looks for a blank line in between messages
in the mbox file. There is no such requirement that I know of;
certainly all the mbox data I have has tons of messages with no blank
line before the '^From ' line.
As is, I got 30% fewer messages in the new Maildir, and lots of
messages were actually two or three messages run together. The result
is so garbled I wonder if anyone else has ever used this script...
This tweak seems to have worked for me:
