            Bug ID: 4460
           Summary: Unable to build installer for Windows because syntax
                    error in `packages.current', line 13
           Product: Claws Mail (Windows)
           Version: GIT
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 10
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: default
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: iwo at andonovi.com

I have followed the instructions from here https://www.claws-mail.org/git.php
Downloaded the source code for the installer and start doing what is written in
README.
Running the download.sh produces an error:
syntax error in `packages.current', line 13

I see that this is an empty line. When I delete it. The error happens on the
next empty line and so on.

I'm using:
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)
Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>

Which cames with the latest git for Windows.

I want to build Claws mail myself because I'm searching for issues in Aspell
dictionary loading and want to print some more debug information.
Moreover I experience crash every time I click Subject title (and basically
claws-mail try to sort the mail by Subject) So I want to debug that too. Once
clicked I'm not able to see messages anymore because once clicked on the INBOX
it crashes again immediately since the sortation is remembered.
So I have to delete the whole folder from the drive, start claws-mail, open the
empty INBOX, click sort by Date, close it, return back the folder and start
again the claws-mail.
Unfortunately this happens often when try to click on the newest message and
the mouse accidentally clicked on the header.

I'm sorry about the long explanation but I worked on this two times by 5-6
hours and gathered much information.

Best Regards
Ivo
