Emacs "notmuch CLI version mismatch"

Emacs "notmuch CLI version mismatch"

[david wen riccardi-zhu]

I'm getting this error in Emacs after upgrading packages:

notmuch-logged-error: notmuch CLI version mismatch Emacs requested 
a newer output format than supported by the notmuch CLI.  You may 
need to restart Emacs or upgrade your notmuch package.

The message appears whenever I try to open an email. 

Emacs is 25.2.1, notmuch is 0.24.2. I'm on Arch Linux x86_64.

I've tried upgrading my OS, and restarting Emacs and the OS, but 
the error persists.

Am I getting this error because Arch needs to update to 0.24.2-2? 
Should I switch to git?

It would also be nice if this error didn't prevent accessing 
messages. : )

Many thanks!

At a guess, you are using git master of the emacs client (perhaps via
melpa, or via some arch git snapshot package), and a released version of
the notmuch binary.

What is the output of M-x notmuch-hello-versions <return>

0.24.2-2 is not an upstream version of notmuch; there is a Debian
version like that; perhaps arch has a similar versioning scheme.

In general this message indicates your emacs lisp components and your
notmuch binary have drifted dangerously far apart in versions, and you
should really fix that problem. You can still use the command line
"notmuch search" and "notmuch show" commands for access to your mail in
the meantime.

Thanks so much, David.

I am using MELPA -- does this mean I should be using git to get the
binary?

notmuch version 0.24.2

I don't see the advantage of using melpa for notmuch. You need notmuch
binaries, and you want them to match the version of your emacs code. So
wherever you get your notmuch binaries from (whether arch, or building
from source) should also be your source of the notmuch emacs code. But
yes, if you insist on using melpa for notmuch-emacs, you should track
the git versions of the notmuch binaries (at least you should update to
current git whenever you get version mismatch messages from the emacs
client).

That's very suprising, since it should also print the version of notmuch
emacs mua if it is different from the notmuch version.

Running MELPA on macOS talking over ssh to “unstable” notmuch on Debian
gives me:

notmuch version 0.24.2 (emacs mua version unknown)

which matches your expectation, I think.
