Mutt, Goobook and Debian Stable [Solved]

[larry77]

Dear All,
I happen to have minor hiccups with goobook in combination with mutt every second year or so, but now the issue has come again.
I updated to the new debian stable and reinstalled goobook from the debian stable repository.
However, see what happens when I invoke it

Code: Select all

~$ goobook
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/goobook", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3191, in <module>
    @_call_aside
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3175, in _call_aside
    f(*args, **kwargs)

    working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()

    ws.require(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 900, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 786, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'goobook==1.9' distribution was not found and is required by the application


It seems that my system is looking for goobook 1.9 when the installed version is now 3.3 from the repositories.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers

If you only have Python 2.7 you need to use GooBook 1.x. If you have Python 3.6+ you need to use GooBook 3.x.

Actually, the issue was a leftover configuration file still mentioning goobook 1.9.
Once I removed it, everything worked.
