Binary package hint: checkgmail

Checkgmail suddenly stopped logging in at approximately around the 16th
of July 08. A window comes up titled "incorrect username or password",
but no matter what is put in the entry fields, checkgmail will not log
on. Using version checkgmail 1.13-1ubuntu1 (hardy).

Terminal output is as follows:

dov at fred-lt:~$ checkgmail
Warning: Crypt::Simple not found ...
