Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
I'm not sure if this should be reported as an Evolution bug or a
bogofilter one. I installed bogofilter in my laptop (with a fresh
install of Edgy) in order to use it with Evolution. I don't know
exactly how, I ended up with bogofilter-sqlite, the sqlite version,
whose binary is /usr/bin/bogofilter-sqlite.
I spent hours trying to find out why on earth Evolution was ignoring
bogofilter altogether (i.e., mi ~/.bogofilter/wordlist.db won't be
touched even when I marked mail as junk manually), until I found out
running Evolution from the command line that it was expecting to find
"/usr/bin/bogofilter".
I made a link from bogofilter-sqlite to bogofilter and everything seems to
work, but:
- Evolution should inform with an alert, warning or something that a regular
user can see that a file is not being found, instead of failing silently;
- Either Evolution's bogofilter plugin should be smarter about which program
to run (i.e., it should know that bogofilter-sqlite exists), or if
bogofilter-sqlite is meant to be a replacement for bogofilter, the installer
should create the corresponding link (actually, I can do "man bogofilter" but
not "man bogofilter-sqlite" for instance, so it seems that not putting a link
from bogofilter-sqlite to bogofilter is a bug anyway)
** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
