This is because the FindAssuan -- and other code -- in KDE up to 4.4.3 only knows about libassuan 1. The folks at Novell have developed a patch to make it work with libassuan 2. I'm going to be testing it on Solaris; I've forgotten all I ever knew about FreeBSD ports by now, but the same stuff will apply (and end up upstream for 4.5). > The ports that currently depend on libassuan (other than gnupg) are the > following: > Port: kdepim-4.4.3 > Port: dirmngr-1.0.3 > Port: gpa-0.9.0_3 > > I'm writing to you because you are the maintainer of one of those ports. > > So that's the background, now the question.

Contact Will Stephenson for the Novell patches, or I can bung them on the FreeBSD list once I've tried them elsewhere. [ade]
