Package: offlineimap Version: 6.0.2 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable
OfflineIMAP crashes with backtrace, I think when it tries to reuse an already open connection. Here is the backtrace, that is rather self-explaining: > Main program terminated with exception: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/offlineimap/init.py", line 198, in > startup > threadutil.exitnotifymonitorloop(threadutil.threadexited) > File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/offlineimap/threadutil.py", line > 116, in exitnotifymonitorloop > exitthreads.task_done() > AttributeError: Queue instance has no attribute 'task_done' It seems that Queue.task_done() is new in Python 2.5. On my Debian "Etch with some testing and unstable packages", I have both Python 2.4 and 2.5 installed, but /usr/bin/python still points to python2.4, no idea why. So, running offlineimap with "/usr/bin/env python2.5" instead of "/usr/bin/env python" solves that problem, but I do not know if that is the clean way to do it.
