[Bug 1755755] Re: Error in Mutt sidebar when mutt is started

[Mark Waite]

In my case, the sidebar.rc file was on the Ubuntu 16.04 system and
appears to have been needed there.  When I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04, I
did not delete that file.  The mutt version included in Ubuntu 18.04
does not need that sidebar.rc file.

I did what Walter recommended and removed /etc/Mutt.rc/sidebar.rc.  The
mutt on Ubuntu 18.04 works great for me now that the sidebar.rc file is
removed.

Title:
  Error in Mutt sidebar when mutt is started

Status in mutt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have Mutt configured to use the sidebar. When I start mutt, the
  following error is reported:

  Press any key to continue...ar.rc, line 4: ifdef: unknown command
  Error in /usr/lib/mutt/source-muttrc.d|, line 5: source: errors in /etc/Muttrc.d/sidebar.rc
  Error in /etc/Muttrc, line 141: source: errors in /usr/lib/mutt/source-muttrc.d|
  source: errors in /etc/Muttrc

  After pressing any key as suggested, Mutt starts without error and the
  sidebar works as expected.
