This is due to the way the port is installed. The fix would be either a manual copy of the getmailcore directory under the previous Python install lib directory to the new one or re-install the port. Feel free to edit the note to make it easier to understand, etc. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: --- UPDATING_getmail_py2.4.diff begins here --- --- /usr/ports/UPDATING Wed Dec 1 16:45:37 2004 +++ /home/question/ports/UPDATING Wed Dec 1 20:10:06 2004 @@ -6,6 +6,15 @@ time you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades. +20041201: + AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail + AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org + + When upgrading to Python 2.4, the getmailcore site package needs to be + copied manually from the previous Python site-packages directory to the + Python 2.4 site-packages directory.
