1. System won”t boot. Met with a grub> prompt, and no menu
   • Boot the system from the DVD again, and select “rescue an install system”.
   • ‘chroot /mnt/sysimage/’
   • “nano /boot/grub/grub.conf”
   • Change this line, “root (hd2,0)” to root “(hd0,0)”. (I’m not sure why Grub seems incapable of finding the right hard drive to boot from each time… It doesn’t change.)
   • Uncomment the line at the top #boot
2. Cyrus imapd won”t start. Complaining of libcrypto.so.6 library missing.
   • Upgrade Cyrus - “yum upgrade -y cyrus”
   • Restart the service - ’service cyrus-imapd restart’
3. Rss2imap no longer posts the messages into Cyrus IMAPD
   • Difficult to place the blame on this one. One turning on Rss2imap debug mode, I see i@m getting the error ‘Message contains bare newlines’, and although Rss2imap has posted the message. It’s been discarded by Cyrus. This is actually proper RFC behaviour for Cyrus - as message’s shouldn’t contain the broken ‘\n’ character, but rather ‘\r\n’. At the same time, I also think, ’so what?’. Either way, the Cyrus behaviour has changed, or Mail::IMAPClient modules have.
   • So the fix… Edit Rss2imap\RSS2IMAPLIB\Rss2imap.pm, and add the bold text.
      my $message = ($headers . $body);
$message =~ s/\n/\r\n/g;
utf8::encode ( $message );

     and
      my $folder = $this->get_real_folder_name ($this->{'last-modified-folder'});
$body =~ s/\n/\r\n/g;
$this->{imap}->append_string ($folder, $body);

     You’ll notice we’ve replaced all the \n line endings with the more correct \r\n. Let’s just hope we don’t have to undo that later when the problem gets resolved elsewhere

Remarkably, this was the first time the wireless card started up immediately after the upgrade, perhaps things are improving after all
