I'm trying to install getmail-5.16 on Debian 12. I followed the instructions for using the AppImage since Debian no longer distributes Python2. The build step completes without complaint, but the install step throws an error: # python2 setup.py install running install running build running build_py running build_scripts running install_lib creating /tmp/.mount_pythonD2zssp/opt/python2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/getmailcore error: could not create '/tmp/.mount_pythonD2zssp/opt/python2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/getmailcore': Read-only file system As I can manually create this directory, the problem is something other than /tmp being a read-only filesystem. I haven't been able to find any information about this in the list archives or in Google. I suspect this is related to using the AppImage. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
