+ [SRU] Incompatibility between Getmail 6.18.13 and Python 3.12.x
** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ getmail6 crashes when the user tries to use a certificate and keyfile to
+ authenticate with the server.
+
+ The trace will be:
+
+ getmail version 6.18.13

version 2.
+ SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever:sudip@localhost:993: read_all and not delete -- all
messages will be retrieved each time getmail is run
+ SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever:sudip@localhost:993:
+
+ Exception: please read docs/BUGS and include the following information
+ in any bug report:
+
+ getmail version 6.18.13
+ Python version 3.12.3 (main, Sep 11 2024, 14:17:37) [GCC 13.2.0]
+
+ Unhandled exception follows:
+ File "/usr/bin/getmail", line 1022, in main
+ success = go(configs, options.idle)
+ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ File "/usr/bin/getmail", line 182, in go

5 were given
+
+ Please also include configuration information from running getmail

+
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ 1. install dovecot-imapd mailutils getmail6
+
+ 2. mkdir -p ~/mailbox/{cur,tmp,new}
+
+ 3. send a mail to the user, in this test, I am sending mail to my username:
+ echo "this is a test mail" | mail -s "getmail test" sudip
+
+ 4. Use the same certificate and key that dovecot is using:
+ cp /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem certfile
+ sudo cp /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key keyfile
+
+ 5. change the owner of keyfile (in my test user is sudip)
+ sudo chown sudip:sudip keyfile
+
+ 6. create a file '~/getmailrc' and paste the below content in it: (replace
username with your username and PASSWORD with your password)
+ [retriever]
+ type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
+ server = localhost
+ username = sudip
+ password = PASSWORD
+ certfile = ~/certfile
+ keyfile = ~/keyfile
+
+ [destination]
+ type = Maildir
+ path = ~/mailbox/
+
+ [options]
+ verbose = 2
+ message_log = ~/getmaillog
+ delete = false
+
+ 7. use the getmail command to retrieve the mail:
+ getmail -r ~/getmailrc -g ~/
+
+ If getmail is not fixed then it will crash. With the fixed getmail, it
+ will be able to retrieve the mail.
+
+ Test to check that there is no regression for users who are not using keyfile
and certfile.
+
__________________________________________________________________________________________
+
+ 1. Follow the steps 1 - 5 from above.
+
+ 2. create a file '~/getmailrc' and paste the below content in it: (replace
username with your username and PASSWORD with your password)
+ [retriever]
+ type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
+ server = localhost
+ username = sudip
+ password = PASSWORD
+
+ [destination]
+ type = Maildir
+ path = ~/mailbox/
+
+ [options]
+ verbose = 2
+ message_log = ~/getmaillog
+ delete = false
+
+
+ Note: the only difference between the previous getmailrc and this new one is
the keyfile/certfile are not mentioned here.
+
+ 3. use the getmail command to retrieve the mail:
+ getmail -r ~/getmailrc -g ~/
+
+
+ This should work with the current package in Noble and also with the fixed
package.
+
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ The upstream commits have changed the way imaplib.IMAP4_SSL is
+ initialized from 'IMAP4_SSL_EXTENDED'. IMAP4_SSL_EXTENDED is only used
+ when users are using keyfile/certfile or their own CA files, There is a
+ chance of regression due to this change but the affected users will be
+ same user group who are affected by this bug. And in a worst case
+ scenario of a regression they will not see any new failure, but they
+ will see that their keyfile/certfile or CA files are still not working
+ with getmail.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ * This is an upstream commit and has been verified by the user who reported
this issue.
+ * It has been fixed in Debian from 6.19.02-1 and so Oracular and Plucky are
not affected.
+ * I will be adding this test as an autopkgtest in Debian, so it will reach
Plucky.
