[maemo-users] Claws Mail Install Failure - libtasn1 missing - fixed

[From: lakestevensdental]

Thanks everyone for helping clarify this issue. 

It should also be noted that when one's email program goes down, one 
also loses direct contact with the list discussion of how to fix the 
problem unless one also has access to email thru another system.

It's sort of a classic Catch-22, you can't get there from here deal.  

Always, Fred C
