Source: claws-mail
Version: 3.14.1-3
Severity: normal

While investigating whether an RC bug in the orphaned package
src:libindicate should be resolved by fixing the bugs or by removing the
package, I noticed that claws-mail Build-Depends on libindicate-dev, but
has no libindicate dependency.  There are also no mentions of indicate
in buildd logs.

It appears that this dependency was removed in 3.14.1:

https://sources.debian.net/src/claws-mail/3.14.1-3/ChangeLog/#L330
> Notification plugin: Port from libindicate to unity/messaging menu
> This is a slightly modified version of the patch from Sebastien Noel

Please remove this obsolete build-dependency.

This bug might be escalated to serious if it is feasible to remove
libindicate from stretch, because the less unmaintained code we have,
the better.

Thanks,
    S
