--- Begin Message ---Package: fetchmail Version: 6.4.0~rc4-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I have been using fetchmail for several years to download mail from multiple accounts, one instance for each account using the FETCHMAILHOME variable. I realized only today that it was a few days since it was no longer downloading mail. The script that I use enters the directories of the various accounts, sets the variable FETCHMAILHOME and uses the default values Looking at the log file I saw this message (ACCOUNT is the email): ./ACCOUNT/fetchmail.pid: No such file or directory fetchmail: lock creation failed. If I create the file, before launching fetchmail, is correctly removed: fetchmail: removing stale lockfile but later the lock fails (ACCOUNT is the email): 7426 openat(AT_FDCWD, "./ACCOUNT/fetchmail.pid", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 7426 dup(2) = 4 7426 fcntl(4, F_GETFL) = 0x8401 (flags O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_LARGEFILE) 7426 close(4) = 0 7426 write(2, "./ACCOUNT/fetch"..., 68) = 68 7426 write(2, "fetchmail: lock creation failed."..., 33) = 33 7426 exit_group(8) = ? 7426 +++ exited with 8 +++ To make fetchmail work again I had to specify the pidfile as argument (FETCHMAILHOME is relative, not an absolute path) --pidfile "$FETCHMAILHOME/fetchmail.pid" -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fetchmail depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debianutils 4.9 ii libc6 2.29-2 ii libcom-err2 1.45.3-4 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.17-6 ii libkrb5-3 1.17-6 ii libssl1.1 1.1.1d-1 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 Versions of packages fetchmail recommends: ii ca-certificates 20190110 Versions of packages fetchmail suggests: pn fetchmailconf <none> ii postfix [mail-transport-agent] 3.4.7-1 ii resolvconf 1.79 -- no debconf information
