Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2004-04-14 11:02:18 UTC 
Sounds like a probable duplicate of bug 120007.
Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2004-04-14 12:41:52 UTC 
Could you try pan-0.14.2-5 which should fix the above bug?
Comment 3 Kasper Dupont 2004-04-14 16:29:12 UTC 
I have switched from Red Hat 9 to Fedora Core 1 where pan-0.14.2-2 was
installed. The problem still exist with this version. The newest pan
version I could find was pan-0.14.2-4 which also suffers from this
problem. Where do I find pan-0.14.2-5?
Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2004-04-15 00:19:31 UTC 
Should be appearing in FC devel (rawhide) today or so. :)
Comment 5 Kasper Dupont 2004-04-15 20:29:42 UTC 
Why isn't pan-0.14.2-5 signed? The pan-0.14.2-4 I downloaded from the
same directory yesterday was signed:

[kasperd@erwin:pts/5:~/pan] rpm -K pan-0.14.2-*.i386.rpm
pan-0.14.2-4.i386.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK
pan-0.14.2-5.i386.rpm: sha1 md5 OK
[kasperd@erwin:pts/5:~/pan]
Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2004-04-16 04:08:59 UTC 
I think you were "lucky" with pan-0.14.2-4: I guess it got
signed for test1 and test2 of FC2.  pan-0.14.2-5 won't get signed
until test3, and again for the final release of course. :)
Comment 7 Kasper Dupont 2004-04-16 18:25:22 UTC 
In that case I won't test it. I don't install unsigned software unless
every line have been reviewed by someone I trust. I tried
pan-0.14.2-gmime-crash-120007.patch from pan-0.14.2-5.src.rpm, it
seems to fix the problem.
Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2004-05-12 01:51:36 UTC 
Fwiw, the pan in Fedora devel for FC2 is now signed I believed.
