Hi, > Offlineimap (fink unstable, either 64 or 32 bit) fails with a "Trace/BPT > Trap error" on 10.6.
Just upgraded myself, and immediately got the same problem. So much for the "it's in an interpreted language, it should work everywhere" line :-( > What are the plans for incorporating this fix into Fink?

As a temporary fix (or rather as an ugly hack), I edited the file locale.py by hand to not even try importing _locale.so. There is a "locale emulation" right below ... Actually, deleting _locale.so altogether should work as well, as the import iswithin a try/except. That's the worst solution (it will not survive a python upgrade, for one) but it was the quickest to implement. > If I remember correctly, offlineimap on 10.6 uses python-2.5, which does > not appear to be one of the versions fixed by the upstream maintainers. > That said, the fix is trivial enough that I imagine it could be easily > backported. Alternatively, the Offlineimap package could be modified to either use python-2.6 (when fixed - although IIRC offlineimap had a few problems with py26), or /usr/bin/python (if it works - I did not have time yet to look into that). I will give it a try. But certainly the python packages themselves should be fixed, as offlineimap is certainly not the only package affected ... /vincent (offlineimap package maintainer) -- Vincent Beffara UMPA - ENS-Lyon 46 allée d'Italie 69364 Lyon Cedex 07 Tél : 04 72 72 85 25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
