If you mean by "breakdown" that I overlooked that gmime24 drags in mono which 
does not support 64bit and hence neglected to mark the new pan.info from today 
as "32 bit only" -- then yes, we had a breakdown :) (and similarly, gmime24 
should have been marked as 32-bit only...).

Of course, it would be nice if mono supported 64bit, but regardless of this, 
I'd really prefer to not have mono as a dependency for pan (or gmime24, and 
anything else depending on it). It's a very big packages with dozens of 
dependencies, after all, and so should be avoided.

I am not sure whether Jack has any plans to work on this (nor, for that matter, 
whether Jack has any plans to fix any of his packages... ;-) ), but I'll look 
into splitting the gmime24.info, moving the mono stuff into a separate package; 
alternatively, we could make gmime24-nomono, I guess, and let stuff depend on 
"gmime24 | gmime24-nomon", but I'd really prefer if the mono bindings were in a 
separate package.

Bye,
Max
