After upgrading to dev-lang/python-2.7.2-r3 (from 2.7.1-r1 I think), net-mail/offlineimap-6.3.2.2 throws an error while syncing - but appears to still complete the sync as expected. This happens no matter what the sync needs to do, even when nothing needs to be done. The error message is: WARNING: Error occured attempting to sync account shadow1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/offlineimap/accounts.py", line 190, in syncrunner self.sync(siglistener) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/offlineimap/accounts.py", line 269, in sync remoterepos.holdordropconnections() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/offlineimap/repository/IMAP.py", line 71, in holdordropconnections self.dropconnections() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/offlineimap/repository/IMAP.py", line 74, in dropconnections self.imapserver.close() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/offlineimap/imapserver.py", line 342, in close imapobj.logout() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 537, in logout self.shutdown() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1187, in shutdown self.file.close() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 214, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError("Unknown IMAP4 command: '%s'" % attr) AttributeError: Unknown IMAP4 command: 'file' ***** Finished processing account shadow1 This did not happen with previous versions of Python. Googling the AttributeError line shows the issue to be widespread, with Ubuntu, Debian, and OS X, in the top results. Upgrading to net-mail/offlineimap-6.3.4 (~) fixes the issue and works reliable, will file a stabilization request for that as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update dev-lang/python to 2.7.2-r3 2. Run offlineimap to sync mailbox(s) 3. Observer error. Actual Results: offlineimap appears to sync the mailbox correctly, but gives an error/warning message and traceback about "Unknown IMAP4 command: 'file'" Expected Results: offlineimap should not give a scary error message and traceback. This problem has been observed on amd64, x86, and hardened x86, Pentium4, Core2, and Atom. emerge --info from one of the machines.
