I made that non-maintainer release... and yes, it's a bug, and I don't
know how it went unnoticed, that is, until it was uploaded. Unfortunately
it was incorporated into main rather quickly, and I didn't notice the bug
reports until a few days ago. Anyway, it's fixed in 0.5. It also fixes a
stupid mistake I made and nobody seems to have noticed yet. It doesn't
show unless you are upgrading from 0.12.3-0.x to 0.12.3-0.y. And as a
bonus, I managed to add wmaker-traditional for those of you who doesn't
like the newstyle.

I can't reproduce this. wmaker depends on libwraster0, which is the
package that had the typo. You have to --configure libwraster0, and then
--configure wmaker.

It won't dock. As I understand it, asmail has to be patched.

Install wmmail. It's the same as asmail. It's on incoming right now. It's
based on asmail 0.50. The author seems to have corrected a few bugs (?) on
asmail, and has plans to add more capabilities to it. The catch here is it
doesn't work with AfterStep's Wharf.
Sorry for the troubles I might have caused.

PS: I'll upload 0.12.3-0.5 tomorrow...
