I've also been bit by this. The package page on Gutsy
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/mail/maildrop> says maildrop depends
on courier-authlib *except* for amd64. Ralf's initial report above shows
he is using an amd64 package, as am I. Why is this marked as not a
dependency for amd64 systems?

For what it's worth, when I building the package locally without any
modifications (except to the changelog),   ${shlibs:Depends} lists
courier-authlib as a dependency:

my local build:

    Depends: exim4 | mail-transport-agent, courier-authlib, libc6 (>=
2.6-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2.1), libgdbm3, libpcre3 (>= 4.5), libstdc++6
(>= 4.2.1)

maildrop in official ubuntu archive:

    Depends: exim4 | mail-transport-agent, libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1),
libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2-20070208), libgdbm3, libpcre3 (>= 4.5), libstdc++6 (>=
4.2-20070208)

For reference, the way I built it was:

  sudo apt-get build-dep maildrop
  apt-get source maildrop
  cd maildrop-2.0.3
  dch -n
  debuild -uc -us

I'll be using my local repository build. If anyone wants it you can grab
it from my apt repository or use this apt line in your sources.list:

  deb http://packages.devsuki.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main
