Package: checkgmail Version: 1.13+svn33-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
After installing checkgmail, i start and configure my login data. Confirming with 'OK' checkgmail fails to connect to gmail an responds: '401 Unauthorised' The login and password is correct. I found the solution at the authors home page: http://checkgmail.sourceforge.net/ Google changed the login procedure and all programs working with the deprecated fail. Solution: run (as root): checkgmail -update aptitude install libcrypt-simple-perl The 'libcrypt-simple-perl' is necessary, because checkmail fail to start when its not installed. And says 'please instlaa from cpan 'Crypt::simple'.
