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
