Package: offlineimap3
Version: 0.0~git20210105.00d395b+dfsg-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
offlineimap fails with:
sequence item 1: expected str instance, bytes found
while trying to sync an imap folder with
pythonfile = ~/.config/offlineimap.py
that looks up username and password:
remoteusereval = get_username("account")
while get_username returns a string, the value gets converted into bytes in
/usr/share/offlineimap3/offlineimap/repository/IMAP.py
...
def getuser(self):
...
if user is not None:
return localeval.eval(user).encode('UTF-8')
due to that, the following fails:
/usr/share/offlineimap3/offlineimap/imapserver.py
...
def __plainhandler(self, response):
tries to mix bytes and strings:
retval = NULL.join((authz, authc, passwd))
This has been fixed upstream in
https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/pull/50
in the same way it was fixed for passwords in
debian/patches/0001-Right-format-for-password-from-remotepassfile.patch

Subject: [PATCH] BUG: Right format for username using remoteusereval
Similarly to 7a4285370f338a6653e8bb1a8fb99e3703683b6f, reading the username
using remoteusereval returns a bytes objects instead an utf-8 string.
This patch includes support for both string and bytes objects.
