Evolution-3.28.4 -> 3.30.0 new behaviour
Error message:
Failed to refresh folder “tdance@localhost : INBOX”.
The reported error was “Error fetching message info: expecting number”.

journalctl logs:
Error while connecting to search on “file:///var/run/kopano/search.sock”

Is that normal IMAP-client behaviour?

Problem starting kopano-search

File "/usr/sbin/kopano-search", line 3, in <module>
    import kopano_search
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kopano_search/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
    import bsddb
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/bsddb/__init__.py", line 67, in <module>
    import _bsddb
ImportError: No module named _bsddb

How have the distros solved this?
I have compiled bsddb3 but the problem is in

kopano_search/__init__.py", line 19

if sys.hexversion >= 0x03000000:
    import bsddb3 as bsddb
    from queue import Empty
else: # pragma: no cover
    import bsddb          #line 19
    from Queue import Empty

Hi!

I am runngin kopano on a Gentoo system.
I had the same problem with kopano-search and kopano-spamd, which can be solved by changing it that way:

@vogi Yes, that is the sollution I am trying now. The other sollutions would be patching Python2 or moving to Python3

I don’t understand why it is solved by these steps
1 Downgrade to evolution-3.28.4 and started. Test-mail displays
2 stopped kopano-search
3 Upgrade to evolution-3.30.0, started, no errors, Test-mail displays. No logs compaining that search socket unavailable

I found out that proplem stil persist. no problem startin evolution-3.30 first time. The problem occurs after restarting. I guess something wrong at closin evolution

Hi @tjoen ,

which of the two problems are you referring to with:

@tjoen said in [evolution bug]Evolution-3.28.4 -> 3.30.0 Error while connecting to search on "file:///var/run/kopano/search.sock":

I found out that proplem stil persist.

?

is it the Error while connecting to search on “file:///var/run/kopano/search.sock” log message? This was reported at our support desk a few times already as well, but we are still missing steps to actually reproduce this. normally the imap clients are not supposed to talk to search.

edit: dev ticket for that is btw https://jira.kopano.io/browse/KC-1153

@fbartels
I was not clear with my comments. There were two problems. One was

search on “file:///var/run/kopano/search.sock”

That didn’t reappear even without kopano-search running. The second was

Error message:
Failed to refresh folder “tdance@localhost : INBOX”.
The reported error was “Error fetching message info: expecting number”.

That persists after first time restarting evolution-3.30 without problems. But closing evolution and restarting the problem persists. 3.28 no problems. I need to report it to the Evolution-team.

In debug mode I can see that kopano is sending the email to evolution with headers e.a. but it doesn’t display in the inbox
