Package: mailsyncdir
Version: maildirsync
Severity: minor
Tags: patch upstream
When running mailsyncdir with a command line like this:
maildirsync --recursive \
-v -v \
--alg md5 \
--rsh "ssh -C -i $HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519 -l $USERNAME" \
$HOME/Maildir \
mail2.example.org:/var/mail/$USERNAME/Maildir \
$HOME/state/maildirsync.bz2
The mailsyncdir tools shows multiple (up to 12) times the following message:
mailsyncdir: Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/bin/maildirsync
line 99.
This is due to line 99 in the maildirsync Perl script:
if (reftype($OPT{$optname}) ne 'ARRAY') {
Replacing this line with:
if (!(ref($OPT{$optname}) eq 'ARRAY')) {
fixes the issue.
