severity 739601 normal retitle 739601 mutt: Fails ungracefully when /usr/lib/sasl2 is not present reassign 739601 mutt thanks
The directory /usr/lib/sasl2 was shipped for along time as an empty directory in the libsasl2-2 directory. This was removed for two reasons: - It was empty, and therefore not useful - With multi-arch, all the libsasl2-modules-* binary packages are shipping their files in /usr/lib/<arch>/sasl2 It appears that this is causing mutt to fail ungracefully. The existence of the directory should be tested for.
