What I can't understand is why emerge is trying to emerge ssmtp. I see
that gnupg-2.0.7-r1 has a RDEPEND on virtual/mta which courier and
ssmtp PROVIDE. Can someone share som light why emerge doesn't use the
PROVIDE=virtual/mta virtual/mda virtual/imapd line in
courier-0.58.0.ebuild.
Because at the time gnupg is to emerge, courier is not installed, so it
uses the default mta, which is ssmtp. You could try
USE=-crypt emerge courier
to install it without needing gnupg, then emerge it normally. Then gnupg
will be pulled in, but courier will already satisfy the virtual/mta
dependency.
THANKS, that did it. (:-)
