Package: popclient
Version: 3.05-3
Popclient doesn't work in APOP mode (which md5 hashes passwords so that they
don't travel in cleartext anymore) which is too bad as I just installed it to
get APOP ...
There are two problems in the package. First, configure has to be told that
APOP is desired. Second, there is actually a buglet in the upstream source.
This patch fixed both problems for me.
