Description Hans 2011-10-12 16:29:25 UTC

net-dns/libidn-1.22 still installs one .la file even without the static-libs USE flag set:

[...]
/usr/lib64/libidn.la
/usr/lib64/libidn.so
/usr/lib64/libidn.so.11
[...]

As far as I can tell, this is completely useless, as I see no reason this should be useful.
So please delete this file even in the case of USE=-static-libs.

Thanks!
