https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684968 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684968#c0 Summary: exmh - gives errors; probably should be removed from the distro Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: 64bit OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nrickert@ameritech.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 I have previously used exmh in versions up through opensuse 11.3. It did not work under 11.3, and it still does not work under 11.4. The attempt to run the application generates a bunch of errors. According to the file "/usr/bin/exmh" (a script file), the version dates from 2005. I suspect that this software is not being maintained, and should be removed from future releases. Note, however, that "nmh" still works and I am still using it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the program ("exmh" at the command line). 2. 3. Actual Results: The first line of errors is: exmh: tkerror: wrong # args: should be "lassig ... There are a bunch of other errors, but they might be a consequence of the first error. Expected Results: The exmh GUI should have opened as an email client. The first few lines of the scripts (ignoring the credit comment lines) are: # The following lines are patched by exmh.install #CONFIGURATION set wish /usr/bin/wish set exmh(version) {version 2.7.2 01/07/2005} set exmh(name) exmh -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

And exmh works there. Then I copied my "$HOME/.gnupg" to the new account. And exmh again fails. However, if I remove that .gnupg directory, and then create a single gnupg key for the account, it works. The last time this worked for me (on opensuse 11.0), I think "gpg" was still the old gpg , and not gpg2. There's probably something in gpg2 that is confusing exmh. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

New subject: [Bug 684968] exmh overwrites Tcl's lassign command

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684968 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684968#c3 Reinhard Max changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Priority|P5 - None |P4 - Low Summary|exmh - gives errors; |exmh overwrites Tcl's |probably should be removed |lassign command |from the distro | Severity|Major |Normal --- Comment #3 from Reinhard Max 2011-05-19 17:00:11 CEST --- It looks like the problem is not gpg vs gpg2, but Tcl 8.4 vs. Tcl 8.5: exmh overwrites Tcl's builtin [lassign] command (which was added in 8.5) with a proc that serves a similar purpose, but has different calling conventions. Now some of Tk's library code wants to call the builtin lassign, but gets the exmh version instead, which throws the error. Please test the version from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rmax:/branches:/server:/mail... (once the package appears there). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
