I used the ebuild from bug #37311 http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=23193&action=view and fixed a missing directory and a broken script. Now Capisuite works fine for me. The missing directory was /var/spool/capisuite/failed for failed faxes. Without this directory Capisuite reported lots of errors in /var/log/capisuite.error like these ones: Mon Mar 1 19:47:25 2004 CapiSuite 0xbffffaf0: Can't read/write to the necessary spool dirs Mon Mar 1 19:47:58 2004 CapiSuite 0xbffffaf0: Can't read/write to the necessary spool dirs Mon Mar 1 19:48:31 2004 CapiSuite 0xbffffaf0: Can't read/write to the necessary spool dirs The corrupted script was /usr/lib/capisuite/incoming.py There was a bug in Capisuite 0.4.3 which send faxes recieved via the answering_machine to the nirvana instead to save them as .sff file or even send them as email. The easiest solution is to replace this script by the one which is provided by the developer. You can find it here with a short german note: http://www.capisuite.de/faq.php3#bug_switch2fax Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install capisuite 2. configure it to receive faxes via the answering machine 3. send a fax to capisuite Actual Results: The fax gets lost despite the logs saying everything is great. capisuite.error reports errors: "Mon Mar 1 19:48:31 2004 CapiSuite 0xbffffaf0: Can't read/write to the necessary spool dirs" Expected Results: The fax should be saved (and mailed), no errors should be in the log. For additional information you can mail me. Sorry if there are any mistakes in this bug-report. It's my first one. :)
can you please fix the ebuild from 37311 and attach a new one (even better a patch to the current one in portage) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 37311 ***
