Same problem on both of my MiaB servers. I don’t remember editing management/mail_log.py. I can’t even log in as root on the second server; haven’t configured it with my own password.

Is this the file we had to correct a bug by fixing some character to | or something?

What can I do?

Kind of seems like it was modified though…

Go to that directory and run ‘git checkout’ and git should revert the changed file back to the original. Then try the update again

[Keith_Rettig]

While I really appreciate the advice, the main problem I have is that I don’t know where that directory is. I can’t get to it with knowledge of Ubuntu.
That is cd /management/ doesn’t work.

It it’s probably under your home (/home/ubuntu) directory … /home/ubuntu/mailinabox/management/backupy.py

[dms]

I’ve been traveling and typing this on a bus, so I can’t confirm, but if memory serves, you need to run the git checkout command in the ‘/root/mailinabox’ directory

[Keith_Rettig]

The solution was to login to root, cd mailinabox/management and then issue the command ‘git checkout mail_log.py’.
All is well now.

Thanks for the help.
Keith.
