Package "pine" has multiple issues

Package "pine" has multiple issues

While doing some QA work I came up with the following problems:

* RDEPENDS_pine = "pico" : this looks wrong, should probably be a "+="
* pine embeds a copy of libc-client, which is already available as a
separate package
* LDFLAGS are ignored, resulting in a QA error

As I can't find "pine" in the MAINTAINERS file, could someone step
forward and fix it please?

Cheers,

I think that we should drop it totally and use Alpine instead. Why?

- Pine is not developed anymore
- Pine has license which do not allows to distribute changed binaries
- Alpine replaced Pine
- Alpine uses Apache License 2.0

IIRC Mickeyl added it long time ago.
