Bug 146696 – dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.22: doesn't work with mutt

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian 2006-09-07 07:19:26 UTC]

Hi all,

I can't use SASL auth with .22 anymore. All I get is "SASL authentication failed!" Downgrading to .21 makes mutt work again. I use "pop_authenticators='cram-md5'" in mutt-1.5.11-r2.

I'm sorry that I can't get more output. I tried with "mutt -d2" after I compiled mutt with "debug" in USE, but there wasn't any extra output.

I looked at the changelogs of cyrus-sasl and mutt, but I couldn't find anything regarding my issue.

Okidoki,

I got some debug info (after figuring out that mutt puts it in a file).
I'll attach it in a minute.

[Comment 5 Sebastian 2006-09-08 05:14:13 UTC]

I think I found the code segments that don't play nice together. I wrote an email to the cyrus-sasl list, because apparently they made the changes that broke SASL for mutt. Here's the mail:

mutt needs some love. Patch from CVS attached. Tested against 1.5.11 and 1.5.13. Should be in upstreams 1.5.14. Please add the patch, revbump and resolve.

Thanks Sebastian. Does this patch work with earlier cyrus-sasl versions ? Looks like it should.

I'll add it later today.

Hi Fernando,

think so.

Thanks
S.

[Comment 11 Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2006-09-11 01:09:32 UTC]

In CVS then. Thanks.
