The initial bug report was filed back in March 2008 and I could confirm the findings from 2009 that it doesn't work at all. So I doubt that this package even works properly in Squeez -- which was released in February 2011. (But I haven't checked explicitly as it seems obvious to me.) Especially since we requested the removal of libmail-cclient-perl from Sid and Jessie due to this bug, it's IMHO even more important to make clear which bug reports still apply to Stable and Oldstable.

Hi Axel, thanks for cleaning up my mistakes! Much appreciated! :) On Sonntag, 21. September 2014, Axel Beckert wrote: why do you think that this bug report does not apply to Wheezy? I didnt mean to imply this. I tagged it + sid jessie to indicate the RC severity doesnt apply to wheezy. As the bug is now, it will show up on the radar of people fixing RC bugs in stable and I didnt think this test suite failure was RC in stable. Turns out I was wrong :) (But the above is still a general problem for similar cases...)

Turns out I was wrong :) Well, yeah, but I must admit the bug title was misleading with regards to the new findings from 2009. So I see now why you thought that bug doesn't apply to older releases. I've fixed that now. :-) Especially since we requested the removal of libmail-cclient-perl from Sid and Jessie due to this bug, it's IMHO even more important to make clear which bug reports still apply to Stable and Oldstable. if the package really doesnt work in stable (and oldstable) at all, it should either be fixed there, or also removed. Yes, I was thinking about that, too. So far I have no idea what actually causes the breakage. Maybe some subtle ABI change in libc-client?
