Bug Description

Binary package hint: checkgmail

Checkgmail does not work currently in Karmic. It gives an authorization error and continually prompts the user for a password.

Running "checkgmail -update" grabs the latest SVN and installs it, solving the problem, so Karmic needs to package one of these snapshots.

The problem is discussed on the forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1283708
and is referenced on the CheckGmail homepage: http://checkgmail.sourceforge.net/
