Hi,

I use the Horde packages on many servers with success, thank you for making this possible! For a few weeks some users have been complaining that they can't write new message. All of them use the HTML message format. Switching back to the textual format solves the problem.

This behavior is reproducible on all of my servers running Debian Wheezy with the php-horde-* packages from Jessie.

I found, that others have already bumped into this situation:

I contacted the Horde mailing list, and described my situation in detail:

http://lists.horde.org/archives/horde/Week-of-Mon-20140915/052639.html

But they say, my Horde installation is broken.
So, I tried to revert back to the previous version (from 2.0.4+debian0-3 to 2.0.4+debian0-1) of the suspicious php-horde-editor package to see what happenes, because a few weeks earlier this problem did not exist.
The error disappeared on all of my servers after the downgrade, writing new messages in HTML format is possible again with php-horde-editor 2.0.4+debian0-1.

So, it seems, something has happened in the the php-horde-editor package after upgrading from version 2.0.4+debian0-1.

Could you please verify this and upgrade the php-horde-editor package to a corrected one?

Please tell me if I can do anything to help you to solve this issue, including testing, verifying, or whatever you may need!

And thank you for making these new Horde packages available in Debian!

Best regards,
Andras Galos
