Hi,
This is the answer i have too.
Checking courier-authlib ebuild shows it DEPENDS on postgresql (if USE
flag is ON) and *only* RDEPENDS on db,gdbm
...BEGIN...
DEPEND="virtual/libc
gdbm? ( sys-libs/gdbm )
!gdbm? ( >=sys-devel/autoconf-2.5 sys-libs/db )
>=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.6
pam? ( >=sys-libs/pam-0.75 )
mysql? ( >=dev-db/mysql-3.23.36 )
ldap? ( >=net-nds/openldap-1.2.11 )
postgres? ( >=dev-db/postgresql-7.2 )"
RDEPEND="virtual/libc
gdbm? ( sys-libs/gdbm )
!gdbm? ( sys-libs/db )"
...END...
Conclusion it's only needed for building courier-authlib not for running
Also remember such talks
