For those of you who (like me) have an unstable system with syvinit-core
(but not systemd-shim) this advice maight be puzzling. An install of
claws-mail doesn't bring in anything which is to do with systemd. Why
one needs to go to the trouble of compiling claws-mail is unknown. Why
it needs to be compiled without dbus is also unknown. Seems a lot of
work for no benefit.
The OP will probably have good reasons for offering this advice (which
at first glance do not appear to fit reality).
We await his response. Ignoring his suggestion might be a wise course
of action without it.
