  • an error causes Alpine to quit!

    From Rob Pyott@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 13 13:42:21 2021
    Sorry to post so much at once. Appreciate the expertise.

    I received this error today after deleting 150+ messages in my Junk folder. The message is shown after Alpine crashes/quits. Any suggestions? Thanks.... Rob

    Could you repeat this crash one more time, but execute Alpine under gdb
    and send us the output of the

    (gdb) bt

    comand?

    Thank you

    Not sure if I'm using gdb right. I got this:

    Your version of Alpine was not built with debug support. You need to find
    one that has debug support so you can reproduce the problem.

    Depending on the distro, the debug information could be on another
    repository; that's what openSUSE does. One has to add the debug repo,
    and gdb prints an error message that tells the exact zypper command to
    install what is missing. Cool :-)

    But it seems Rob is using a local build :-?

    I'm using the build prepared for mac -- it's from the Homebrew repository. I don't know how to add a debug repo :(

    I'm not sure I can repeat the error at this point though. I occurred when I was deleting a lot of junk mails. So those 150+ items are gone and things seem to be running ok.
