Search startup error

Stephan

Dear all,

the search process won’t start on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (kopano-search (8.7.80.529.bfd59fc27-0+72.1):

root@server10:~# kopano-search -c /etc/kopano/search.cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):

    func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: /usr/bin/python3: undefined symbol: magic_open

Any ideas?

Thx a lot!

Seems to be an issue with the python-magic shipped with Ubuntu that is missing magic_open, see https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic.

Name Conflict
There are, sadly, two libraries which use the module name magic. Both have been around for quite a while.If you are using this module and get an error using a method like open, your code is expecting the other one. Hopefully one day these will be reconciled.

Where can I find the module including magic_open for Ubuntu?
