Pan newsreader cannot be installed on Debian Sid

[Dave Germiquet]

I would try handling it a couple ways:

See how hard it would be to compile libgmime yourself, and compile and
install the version your self. (You can use checkinstall application to make
it a package)

Or.

If libgmime differents are not that much you can try linking your current
version of libgmime to libgmine-2.0.so.2, though that way is messy and just
causing alot of trouble :) I wouldn't suggest it but it might work.

Anyway, I wonder what other people think.
