Hi SRMs,
Please approve an update of gnumail to fix #886305. The libssl
dependency is unused:
$ dpkg -l gnumail.app | grep ^i
ii gnumail.app 1.2.2-1.1 i386 Mail client for GNUstep
$ ldd -u /usr/bin/GNUMail | grep ssl
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1
And it makes the package undistributable because its license is GPL-2+
without explicit OpenSSL exception. The fix is straightforward;
debdiff attached.
$ dpkg -l gnumail.app | grep ^i
ii gnumail.app 1.2.2-1.1+deb9u1 i386 Mail client for GNUstep
$ ldd /usr/bin/GNUMail | grep ssl
$
$ dpkg -I gnumail.app_1.2.2-1.1+deb9u1_i386.deb | grep ssl
$
