Thanks anyway

Hi @troubleticket ,
I’d try to delete pre-compiled python-files, first:
Recursively remove all *.pyc in folders like /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kopano*, then restart kopano-search and check results again.

Hi @umgfoin ,

thanks for another light at the end of the tunnel (or at least in the tunnel) … ;o)

Does this affect any other parts of kopano-core?
I see five(5) .pyc’s in a folder “kopano-search” but 47 all in all …?

Are these precompiled’s be rebuilt later automagically?

Thanks for helping.

No. Precompiled byte-code (.pyc) only loads, but never executes faster than its plaintext counterpart. So you might notice - if any - only a difference at first access.

Are these precompiled’s be rebuilt later automagically?

Yes, they’ll get rebuilt upon first call of the corresponding .py-script/ module.

Delete them all e.g. find . -name "*.pyc" -delete and start in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

Hi @umgfoin ,

… deleted everything like you suggested, checked: no more .pyc’s …
-> no change in behavior: kopano-seach woń’t start, messages the same …

… no idea … =o(

Greetings, thanks …

OK,
next step:

Locate file /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MAPI/Tags.py and check if a line like

PR_EXTENDED_FOLDER_FLAGS = PROP_TAG(PT_BINARY, 0x36DA) # following specs

is present.

…not sure ;-)
I’d say atleast, package python-mapi didn’t upgrade, correctly. You might reinstall this package, but possibly other (/kopano-search/python-)packages are concerned, too.

Btw., where did you install this from? As of today, I can’t see any Debian7-core-packages under community-downloads.

@umgfoin ,

this kopano installation I maintain for a friend of mine who has a small office of his own, and he has an account for the official repositories, which (as mentioned above) were without debian7-versions for quite some week, whereafter these suddenly reappeared.

I’ll give it a try and reinstall python-mapi … oooops …:

Besides lots of other “libmapi1 php5-mapi python-mapi” are kept back from being updated by “apt-get”???
I suppose, this is been setup by kopano, isn’t it …?

Regards and lots of thanks for your time!

Hi everyone,

I got the problem solved: It was my misunderstanding of “kept back” and “hold”.
All packages are now being installed manually/updated correctly and kopano-search is working again.

Thanks @umgfoin for leading my eyes to the malfunction of upgrades, and to everyone else for reading, thinking, answering, helping.

Regards

Joe
