[gentoo-user] alpine

alpine requires PAM?!

$ emerge -p alpine

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N ] sys-libs/pam-1.2.1  USE="berkdb cracklib pie -audit

[ebuild  N ] mail-client/alpine-2.00-r5  USE="chappa ipv6 passfile

I have a  PAM-free system. I've been using alpine 2.20 on Slackware
14.1 without PAM.
Is there a technical reason for forcing the use of PAM on gentoo?

TIA

[gentoo-user] Alpine-2.00-r3 undelete fails to perform implied function. Email eventually becomes expunged regardless of undelete command.

[ubiquitous1980]

Hello Team,

I am running Alpine-2.00-r3.  In any folder, undelete fails to prevent
an email marked for deletion from being deleted.  The delete mark
remains regardless of the output:

[Deletion mark removed, message won't be deleted]

Steps to replicate problem:

Access a folder, for example Inbox in an account (In this case, mine is
an IMAP-based account)
Press delete
D is appended next to the affected email.
Highlight the email with the D appended to it.
Press the shortcut (U) for undelete.
Client states that: [Deletion mark removed, message won't be deleted]
However, the D remains and it is not possible to prevent the email
from eventually being expunged.

Replicable: Always
Architecture: amd64

Output from EIX:
