Bug 578952 – net-mail/imapsync-1.644 incompatible with dev-perl/Net-SSLeay

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bas Nedermeijer 2016-04-03 18:29:39 UTC]

I cannot sync my mail accounts anymore, imapsync reports the following error:


SSL_verify_mode must be a number and not a string at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 2166.


I have tried different versions of dev-perl/Net-SSLeay  (1.650.0-r1  and  1.720.0). But these give me the same results.

It is unclear for me when the problems started.

It seems there is a fix available as well, see  https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/issues/43

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start imapsync and use a SSL enabled IMAP server
2. 
3.
Actual Results:  
imapsync reports an error:  "SSL_verify_mode must be a number and not a string at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 2166"

Expected Results:  
imap accounts are being synced

after upgrade to 1.678 solve this problem

[Comment 2 Jeremy Stent 2016-06-16 17:57:48 UTC]

We can work around this by editing / patching /usr/bin/imapsync.  On lines 2328 and 2337, change 'SSL_VERIFY_PEER' to 1 and 'SSL_VERIFY_NONE' to 0.  (constants looked up from /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h .

[Comment 3 Paul Brand 2016-07-13 07:03:01 UTC]

Update imapsync to newer version see bugs 574482 and 588736

[Comment 4 Tim Harder 2016-10-27 05:14:47 UTC]

Should be fixed by 1.684 now in the tree.
