Dear fellows,
running openSuSE 11.1, we're getting strange error mails from cron. The automatic update cron job sends an empty mail with a strange attachment called "attachment.pcx". As it turns out, this isn't an image, but rather the output of the YOU/zypper command:
Code:
running weekly cronjob scripts
SCRIPT: opensuse.org-online_update exited with RETURNCODE = 103.
SCRIPT: output (stdout && stderr) follows
The following packages are going to be upgraded:
libqdialogsolver1 libzypp python-satsolver satsolver-tools yast2-pkg-bindings yast2-qt-pkg zypper
The following NEW patch is going to be installed:
softwaremgmt
[2K
Continue? [YES/no]: yes
Warning: One of installed patches affects the package manager itself. Run this command once more to install any other needed patches.
SCRIPT: opensuse.org-online_update
------- END OF OUTPUT
The only idea I have is that the strange character before [2K is causing postfix to quarantine the text into an attachment, wildly guessing it as being a PCX image...
Other ideas or solutions on how to avoid this...?
