Description:
The claws mail package fails to build. The build fail with the following error.

checking for library containing encrypt... no
configure: error: 'encrypt'-function not found.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

I believe the problem come from glibc 2.28. According to
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/20188/msg00003.html
glibc 2.28 doesn't support the encrypt function anymore; which is what claws-mail needs. Presumably the official package was build with an older version of glibc.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
claws-mail 3.16.0.4
glibc 2.28-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Download the source package for claws-mail, cd to its directory and issue "makepkg"
This task depends upon
