Package: notmuch Version: 0.15-2 Severity: normal i run notmuch over a mailstore that is also served by a dovecot instance (which is the reason for much of the spew below). However, after a recent switch to notmuch 0.15, i got this one-time error during "notmuch new": Internal error: add_message returned unexpected value: 4 (notmuch-new.c:543) fwiw, i think that "unexepected value: 4" is NOTMUCH_STATUS_FILE_ERROR. Unfortunately, i don't remember if this is the first time i've run notmuch new since the 0.15 upgrade or if it has to do with some particular message. as you can see from the transcript below, running "notmuch new" a second time didn't reproduce the error. If you have any suggestions on how i could supply better information, please let me know. sorry for the vagueness of this report. --dkg 0 dkg@alice:~$ notmuch new Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot-keywords Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot-uidlist Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot.index Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot.index.cache Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot.index.log Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/maildirfolder Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Drafts/dovecot-uidlist Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Drafts/dovecot.index Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Drafts/dovecot.index.cache Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Drafts/dovecot.index.log Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Sent/dovecot-uidlist Error opening /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Sent/dovecot-uidlist.lock: No such file or directory Internal error: add_message returned unexpected value: 4 (notmuch-new.c:543) 1 dkg@alice:~$ notmuch new Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot-keywords Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot-uidlist Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot.index Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot.index.cache Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/dovecot.index.log Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Archives.2013/maildirfolder Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Drafts/dovecot-uidlist Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Drafts/dovecot.index Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Drafts/dovecot.index.cache Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Drafts/dovecot.index.log Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Sent/dovecot-uidlist Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Sent/dovecot.index Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Sent/dovecot.index.cache Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/dkg/mail/messages/.Sent/dovecot.index.log Processed 48 total files in almost no time.
