I've spent a couple of days on and off chasing an annoying bug in Claws Mail:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/claws-mail/+bug/724416

I've got a hint of a fix from upstream[1], which I'm trying to build and test,
but unfortunately, there's a little bit of yak shaving first.  The unchanged
Natty package does not build for me either locally in an sbuild, or in a PPA.

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/65408435/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-amd64.claws-mail_3.7.8-1ubuntu4~ppa0_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

Claws was last built in the archive six weeks ago.  Since then, libgpg-error
was rebuilt, and I think the linker changes landed.  I don't know whether
either of those changes are related to the build failures in Claws, but it at
least seems related.

Note that there's a /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so file and a
/usr/lib/libgpg-error.la file, but no /lib/libgpg-error.la file.  I haven't
yet been able to figure out why Claws' build wants to find it in /lib instead
of /usr/lib.

I built the unstable version in a sid chroot just fine.  I'm posting this
message to see if the build failure rings a bell with anybody.

Cheers,
-Barry
