Public bug reported: I just upgraded from Kubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, and as soon as I did, a reliably working cron job using offlineimap started generating errors every run. The version of offlineimap I have from 12.04 is Version: 6.3.4-1
The errors looked like the following: ======= Account sync xxxxxxxxxxxx: ***** Processing account xxxxxxxxxxxx Copying folder structure from IMAP to Maildir Establishing connection to mmmmmmmm:ppp. Folder sync [xxxxxxxxxxxx]: Syncing fffffffffffff: IMAP -> Maildir Copy message 14677 from fffffffffffff: Copy message 14677 IMAP[fffffffffffff] -> Maildir[fffffffffffff] Folder sync [xxxxxxxxxxxx]: Adding flag S to 20 messages on fffffffffffff WARNING: ERROR attempting to sync flags for account xxxxxxxxxxxx:Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/offlineimap/folder/Base.py", line 421, in syncmessagesto action(dstfolder, statusfolder) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/offlineimap/folder/Base.py", line 378, in syncmessagesto_flags dstfolder.addmessagesflags(addflaglist[flag], [flag]) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/offlineimap/folder/Base.py", line 196, in addmessagesflags self.addmessageflags(uid, flags) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/offlineimap/folder/Base.py", line 192, in addmessageflags self.savemessageflags(uid, newflags) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/offlineimap/folder/Maildir.py", line 299, in savemessageflags os.path.join(self.getfullname(), newfilename)) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory ======= I was able to (apparently) fix the problem with the following patch to /usr/share/pyshared/offlineimap/folder/Maildir.py, however I do not understand the code well enough to be confident this fix is correct. ======= --- Maildir.py.old 2012-06-18 03:18:48.786071861 -0500 +++ Maildir.py.new 2012-06-18 03:23:41.979234183 -0500 @@ -292,10 +292,9 @@ infostr += '2,' + ''.join(flags) newname += infostr - newfilename = os.path.join(dir_prefix, newname) + newfilename = os.path.join(self.getfullname(), dir_prefix, newname) if (newfilename != oldfilename): - os.rename(os.path.join(self.getfullname(), oldfilename), - os.path.join(self.getfullname(), newfilename)) + os.rename(oldfilename, newfilename) self.messagelist[uid]['flags'] = flags self.messagelist[uid]['filename'] = newfilename ======= ** Affects: offlineimap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014540 Title: syncfolder: ERROR attempting to sync flags - No such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/offlineimap/+bug/1014540/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
