   * Added the pop3-server to the virtual packages list, as decided on the
     list. 
+  * Fix the self reference to a location on the web site. closes: Bug#39408

          An ever increasing number of packages are using libtool to
          do their linking. The latest GNU libtools (>= 1.3a) can take
-         advantage of installed libtool archive files (`*.la'). The
-         main advantage of libtool's .la files is that it allows
-         libtool to store and subsequently access metadata with
-         respect to the libraries it builds.  libtool will search for
-         those files, which contain a lot of useful information about
-         a library (e.g. dependency libraries for static
-         linking). Also, they're essential for programs using
-         libltdl.
