isync (mbsync) not working after parrot update

Briefly describe your issue below:
this monday (3.2.2020) i’ve update around 490 packages (apt update, apt upgrade) and from this moment i’m unable to download emails using mbsync (part of isync package)
currious for me is, that isync wasn’t among those updated

few account are on gmail one on office365

i’ve tried to create a new installation from current iso image, have the same results
everything is working, on my secondary computer, that wasn’t updated

i guess issue is in library used for imap?

What version of Parrot are you running?
4.7 Home KDE amd64

What method did you use to install Parrot? Debian Standard
