The latest official build of "pan" from Ubuntu repository doesn't work. I

BTW, the latest official build is using libgmime-3.0 which is
apparently having some quirks. I installed libgmime-2.6 and it
works fine. If you check the headers of this message, you'll
see that pan 0.147 is being used. The official build is "pan 0.146".
Here is the bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=945315
I searched on the internet and found problem reports about the
libgmime3.0 build. The build with libgmime 2.6 works flawlessly.
Here is what I have installed:
root@umajor:/home/mgogala/git/pan# dpkg -l|grep gmime
ii gir1.2-gmime-2.6:amd64 2.6.23+dfsg1-4 amd64 MIME parser and creator (old 2.6 version) - GObject introspection data
ii gir1.2-gmime-3.0:amd64 3.2.7-1 amd64 MIME message parser and creator library - GObject introspection data
ii libgmime-2.6-0:amd64 2.6.23+dfsg1-4 amd64 MIME message parser and creator library (old 2.6 version)
ii libgmime-2.6-dev 2.6.23+dfsg1-4 amd64 MIME message parser and creator library (old 2.6 version) - development files
ii libgmime-3.0-0:amd64 3.2.7-1 amd64 MIME message parser and creator library
ii libgmime-3.0-dev:amd64 3.2.7-1 amd64 MIME message parser and creator library - development files

That's the good thing about Linux: if something doesn't work, go
and build it yourself. I've also had to do that with Calibre.
Calibre on Ubuntu is ancient. BTW, this bug is at least 2 months
old. I wonder how long will it take to Gnome developers to actually
fix the bug?
