I know about some kind of breakage since the beginning of the week, but so
far I was only at home for eating and sleeping. So I wasn't able to have a
look at it yet. ATM it looks like everything returns back to the normal
state at the weekend, so I should get time on Saturday or Sunday to have a
look at it.

You may want to run "make patch" and search for "libetpan4.1" in the
configure script. If it isn't there, then it's a bug in the updated libetpan
port. If you find a libetpan4.1 in the configure script, just change it to
libetpan4.4 and continue building sylpheed-claws without cleaning the port.

Another work around may be to add a symlink from libetpan4.4 to libetpan4.1,
but I discourage this since it may lead to problems later on.

Bye,
Alexander.

If you didn't get caught, did you really do it?
