neomutt: smtp_authenticators: gssapi is not a valid authenticator

Hello,

I try to configure my mail with mutt-wizard package on Devuan GNU/Linux 5 (daedalus)

Commandline: apt install mutt-wizard --install-recommends
Install: libxapian30:amd64 (1.4.22-1, automatic), neomutt:amd64 (20220429+dfsg1-4.1, automatic), libtokyocabinet9:amd64 (1.4.48-15, automatic), libgmime-3.0-0:amd64 (3.2.13+dfsg-2, automatic), elpa-notmuch:amd64 (0.37-1, automatic), liblua5.4-0:amd64 (5.4.4-3, automatic), isync:amd64 (1.4.4-5, automatic), mutt-wizard:amd64 (3.3.1-2), mailcap:amd64 (3.70+nmu1, automatic), urlview:amd64 (0.9-23.1, automatic), libsexp1:amd64 (1.3.1+18~git20210718-1+b2, automatic), notmuch:amd64 (0.37-1+b1, automatic), dh-elpa-helper:amd64 (2.0.16, automatic), abook:amd64 (0.6.1-2+b1, automatic), libnotmuch5:amd64 (0.37-1+b1, automatic)

i configure my mail with mw -a mtlstr@posteo.net

but when i execute neomutt i recive this message:

Error in /usr/share/mutt-wizard/mutt-wizard.muttrc, line 11: Option smtp_authenticators: gssapi is not a valid authenticator
Error in /home/mt/.config/mutt/muttrc, line 2: source: file /usr/share/mutt-wizard/mutt-wizard.muttrc could not be sourced
Error in /home/mt/.config/mutt/accounts/mtlstr@posteo.net.muttrc, line 12: .: unknown command

source: errors in /home/mt/.config/mutt/muttrc

when i grep the .muttrc 'grep smtp_authenticators /usr/share/mutt-wizard/mutt-wizard.muttrc'

set smtp_authenticators = 'gssapi:login'

mw-mailsync work fine and sync all my mail
and when i launch neomutt and use him all seems work fine but the error message never goes away, any suggestion ?

Re: neomutt: smtp_authenticators: gssapi is not a valid authenticator

i found the problem; the flag sasl should be compile but maybe there is a reason for why devuan ship neomutt and mutt-wizard in this way
i wonder how should fix the problem, mutt-wizard changes or re-compile neomutt ?

If you find a bug in NeoMutt, please raise an issue at:

or send an email to: <neomutt-devel@neomutt.org>

now i fix making this 2 changes

sed -i -e  '/^set smtp_authenticators/ s/^set/\#set/'  /usr/share/mutt-wizard/mutt-wizard.muttrc

sed -i -e  '/switch\.muttrc/ s/^\\\./source/g' /home/mt/.config/mutt/accounts/mtlstr@posteo.net.muttrc

the frist one solve the gssapi error commenting the line that set gssapi
the second change the syntax of source from \. to source

and now i dont have any error but i dont know if this is the ideal solution to the problem
i make some test and all seems work fine.
