Bug#559588: grepmail: Complains about invalid config variable 'todayismidnight'
Package: grepmail
Version: 5.3033-4
Severity: normal
When grepmail is called, for example, with "-d 'between
2009-12-01 and 2010-01-01'", it complains with
"ERROR: [config_var] invalid config variable:
todayismidnight"
I don't know if this error is originating in grepmail or in
date::manip.
The problem seems to come around line 403 in
/usr/bin/grepmail:
Date::Manip::Date_Init("TodayIsMidnight=1") if
$version_number >= 5.43;
grepmail's changelog entry for 5.10 does mention the
following:
- Date specifications without times (e.g. "today") are
interpreted as midnight of the given day instead of the
current time of that day. grepmail now relies on
Date::Manip to handle this--users must upgrade Date::Manip
to get this support. (Thanks to Reuben Thomas
<rrt@sc3d.org> for working with Sullivan Beck
<sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> to get TodayIsMidnight added to
Date::Manip.)
