Kinda strange to ask the same question that has been answered before
on Fedora's devel@ list:

  https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-October/215259.html

The spec file points out that libchamplain-gtk at Fedora is gtk3 based
while Claws Mail is gtk2 based. The built plugin package also includes
a README.Fedora file that says this:

  Cannot build this with libchamplain-gtk and clutter-gtk using gtk3 and
  Claws Mail using gtk2 (bugzilla 758173 and 662800).

It's like this since 2013, because nobody has looked into packaging an
older and gtk2-compatible libchamplain*.
