--- Begin Message ---Package: mailutils Version: 1:3.11.1-4 Severity: important Dear maintainer, Since I upgraded mailutils from 1:3.10-3+b1 to 1:3.11.1-2 a couple of days ago, movemail doesn't remove extracted emails anymore from the source mbox file (I do *not* use option --keep-messages). Example: 1) Verify that /var/mail/$USER is empty. 2) echo Bla | mail -s "Test movemail" $USER 3) 'ls -l /var/mail/$USER' now reports size 573 bytes (it contains the test email sent in step 2). 4) /usr/bin/movemail.mailutils /var/mail/$USER /tmp/extracted-mail 5) No error reported, test email was properly extracted to /tmp/extracted-mail, but /var/mail/$USER is still 573 bytes long. This has the following consequence when I use my mail client (Gnus, which can use movemail to read mbox files): since the upgrade to mailutils 1:3.11.1-2, *every time I check my mail box*, new copies of every email stored in /var/mail/$USER are retrieved. A nightmare... I verified yesterday that the following downgrade of mailutils fixes the problem: [REMOVE, NOT USED] libmailutils8:amd64 1:3.11.1-2 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libmailutils7:amd64 1:3.10-3+b1 [DOWNGRADE] mailutils:amd64 1:3.11.1-2 -> 1:3.10-3+b1 [DOWNGRADE] mailutils-common:amd64 1:3.11.1-2 -> 1:3.10-3 Today, I upgraded to the latest version in unstable (1:3.11.1-4). Unfortunately, this caused the problem to reappear, hence this report. Thanks for your work, kind regards.
