The version of Mutt in Debian 8 (1.5.23-3) has a very annoying bug (https://dev.mutt.org/hg/mutt/rev/755a18da99bc). I'd like to upgrade to 1.5.24 or newer.
Unstable and testing have Mutt 1.6.0-1 but I don't see any back ports of Mutt for stable. Things I'd rather not do : - install from source, - install a package from unstable or testing in case it drags in new versions of libc etc., - install unstable or testing in a VM (not against the idea, just too many other things on my plate at the moment), - upgrade to unstable or testing. So what are my options ? How about apt-get source --build mutt /unstable && dpkg -i mutt*.deb Would that be the way to go ? Any traps I should be aware of ? Thanks in advance. -- André Majorel <http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> bugs.debian.org - spammer's delight.
