Hello,
I've been using notmuch for a few years now. And it's great for my
small business because of the tagging and searching.
Anyway, I just upgraded my OS packages (Solus), and it has notmuch
upgraded to 0.31.4 Which I'm guessing my be my problem? I notice you
have version 0.33.1 recently released.
And Emacs version 27.2
And so:
When I try to display certain "tags", inbox or anything, I get:
[Wed Sep 22 15:49:36 2021]
A caller requested output format version 5, but the installed notmuch
CLI only supports up to format version 4. You may need to upgrade your
notmuch CLI.
When I try to upgrade my notmuch from the Solus package manager, I get
that it is already updated.
Can you point me in the right direction to fix this?
Thanks you,
Jeff.

Yep, this is exactly the problem mentioned in the README on melpa (which
I'm guessing is where you installed notmuch from). You need to use a
version of the notmuch CLI that is as new as as your version of
notmuch-emacs, or an older version of notmuch-emacs. Normally I would
recommend using the notmuch-emacs package from your distro, but I
couldn't figure out if it exists in solus.
If you have the appropriate version of the source, then "make elpa" will
create package you can install in emacs
M-x package-install-file <return>
notmuch-0.31.4.tar <return>
should work. If you're stuck, I can make such an elpa package for you.

Thanks. I guess I'm still stuck. I downloaded version 31.4 from:
https://notmuchmail.org/releases/
But when I select "notmuch-0.31.4.tar" for the package-install-file, I
get an error:
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
Would it not make sense to upgrade notmuch to 0.33.1 ? Which I guess I would
have to do from source, which I haven't done before...

It's a bit confusing, but there is the source tarball notmuch-0.31.tar.xz, that you
downloaded, and the output from "make elpa", which is called
notmuch-0.31.4.tar. I'll send you copy of the latter off list.

Sure, definitely an option, it just requires installing a few more
dependencies, and maybe figuring out how to make sure the binaries are
in your path.\r

Even more confusing when I mess up the name. The output from "make elpa"
is actually notmuch-emacs-0.31.4.tar

Hey David, that worked! Thanks so much!
So going forward... should I reach out to the Solus development and
ask them to update their "notmuch" version?
And until the Solus repository version matches the emacs one, I should
refuse to update the emacs notmuch?
Thanks again.

Yes, it seems reasonable to ask them to update notmuch, 0.31.4 is about
6 months old, so not ancient, but not yesterday either. The ideal
situation would be that they provide a matching package for
notmuch-emacs as other linux distros like Debian and Fedora do. Failing
that, yes you will want to be careful about upgrading notmuch-emacs.
