--- Comment #2 from Chris <chris at breksta.com> ---
Using synaptic, I did "mark for complete removal" of libetpan17 in a
preliminary action. Thereafter, it was not enough for me to "mark for
reinstallation" nor to "mark for removal" followed in a separate action to
"mark for installation" claws-mail from the Debian 10 repository. I had to save
my ~/.claws-mail directory then use "mark for complete removal". After the
complete removal action had finished, I installed claws-mail again with
synaptic. Claws-mail started without the error and it wanted to do initial
setup, so I exited and returned my saved copy of the ~/.claws-mail directory
then restarted claws-mail. Claws-mail worked as expected.

Conclusion: this is a synaptic related issue and has nothing to do with the
claws-mail .deb which I thought might have been prepared by you.

Sorry for the noise.
