Description:   Opened: 2007-05-24 16:58 0000 
As per summary, libassuan installs only .a (archive, static) libraries, rather
than shared objects. This is usually against policy; even if the usage of
static library is reasoned, there are packages depending on libassuan at
runtime, but being only static, they should only depend on it at build time:

[18:54] <Flameeyes> !rrdep libassuan
[18:54] <jeeves> dev-libs/libassuan <- app-crypt/dirmngr app-crypt/gnupg
app-crypt/gnupg-pkcs11-scd

HTH,
Diego

There was a discussion of this in upstream.

Thread at:
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2006-December/023462.html

What do you recommend to do?

Debian has a policy much similar to us, so I'd say follow whatever they are
doing; in this case, they are not using a shared library either, so until
libassuan devs release something that is stable and supported as shared object,
libassuan should be moved from RDEPEND to DEPEND.

Fixed.
Done waiting.
Thanks.
