 |
|
I'm using a new installation of Gentoo with nail as my MUA.
I verify that I have mail:
| Code: | berhanie@myhost ~ $ mail
mailx version nail 11.25 7/29/05. Type ? for help.
"/var/mail/berhanie": 1 message
>O 1 berhanie@myhost Mon Aug 29 12:03 19/622 test message # 1
? |
But it doesn't work when I use mail -u:
| Code: | berhanie@myhost ~ $ mail -u berhanie
No mail for berhanie |
strace reveals that it's expecting a maildir format:
| Code: | berhanie@myhost ~ $ strace mail -u berhanie
...
stat64("~/.maildir/berhanie", 0xbfb6d4ec) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("~/.maildir/berhanie.gz", 0xbfb6d4ec) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("~/.maildir/berhanie.bz2", 0xbfb6d4ec) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("~/.maildir/berhanie", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("~/.maildir/berhanie.gz", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("~/.maildir/berhanie.bz2", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("~/.maildir/berhanie", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "No mail for berhanie\n", 20No mail for berhanie
) = 20
exit_group(1) = ?
berhanie@myhost ~ $ |
Any advice?

By the way, I have both mbox and maildir in my USE flags, since I wanted to experiement with both; and I did a stage 1 install. I don't see anything that would be affected by the maildir flag: | Code: | | USE=-maildir emerge -p -uND world |
shows that no changes would be made. Am I right in eliminating a maildir USE flag as a possible cause of the problem? |

I filled out a bug report (#104491), and the problem was fixed in less than 24 hrs. Amazing.
