The Bookworm upgrade broke this for me. I thought I'd reported a bug but
I don't see it now so perhaps I didnt bother.
I have this patch:

It's not perfect but solves it (mostly) for me. But if other are using
remote pinerc files successfully then perhaps I've got a configuration
wrong somewhere. My problem was related to it repeatedly asking if I
wanted to save the password.
The remote_pinerc is so fantasticly useful, all the benefits of a decent
mail client and all the benefits of having your configuration follow you
around as you change devices.
(Ah, checking my mail history I see I asked here about it and I sent an
email to the upstream maintainer but I never opened a bug. Perhaps I
should do that)
