Subject: [sup-talk] Configuration problems with sup

Hi. I'm having trouble getting sup working. I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.2,  
using the git repo. The binaries and libraries link up fine.

sup-add throws this error:

|---> sup-add mbox:/Volumes/Mail/mail01.mbox --unusual --

                                                                               ~

Same whatever mbox I use.

Then sup is also broken:

I presume the one is a consequence of the other, but I don't know how  
to fix it. Can you help?

I've found that I have to use URIs of the form <type>://<path>

Try sup-add --unusual --archive mbox:///Volumes/Mail/mail01.mbox

(Note that help says options should come first; I don't know if it
actually cares.)

If that doesn't work, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come
along soon.

Reformatted excerpts from Christopher Marsh's message of 2008-04-14:

Interesting. You've uncovered a legitimate bug in Sup, but it's a bug
that remains hidden until you have just the right combination of wrong
things.

You have a couple easy workarounds available to you. If you "mv
~/.sup/sources.yaml.bak ~/.sup/sources.yaml", that should fix it. You
could also delete the entire ~/.sup directory, if you feel like starting
afresh.

I've also fixed the bug in git master.
