Please install the current version of the plugins which is: claws-mail-plugins-3.0.1-1.fc8. Should be in todays rawhide tree.
Thanks!. The main reason I filed the bug is, so that for the future the plugins shouldn't install if they are incompatible. You should add some requirement for compatibility. Thanks again
Well there is a problem with adding a requirement: For the stable releases I usually build claws-mail afterwards claws-mail-plugins and then push it as one upgrade so there should be no problems with incompatibilities. For devel this is a bit different as I can only build the plugins after building claws-mail and as I sometimes push builds with a bit of a time delay it might happen that the main program gets pushed before the plugins. Adding a requirement that would prevent this is a bit problematic if not infeasible and would cause numerous rebuilds just to satisfy requirements (w/o actual code changes). As we are only talking about rawhide problems I will try to keep these problems at a minimum.
