Bug#740440: Bug#739601: Some programms complain about missing /usr/lib/sasl2 after update

[Roberto C. Sánchez]

Klaus,

I have to admit that made quite a mistake here.  I did not thoroughly
investigate this problem when you first reported it.  A grep throug the
cyrus-sasl2 source code for the string "looking for plugins in" would
have led me to find that the problem is actually within cyrus-sasl2
itself (line 535 of lib/dlopen.c).

I apologize for incorrectly pushing the problem off to mutt.  I will
restore the missing directory and upload an updated package as soon as I
possibly can.

Regards,

-Roberto
