Shoudn't there be some ebuild dependencies managed by use-flags? e.g <useflag>sasl</useflag>: ... DEPEND="sasl? ( perl-core/MIME-Base64 dev-perl/Authen-SASL)" ... ervin Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make a virgin minimal install 2. emerge dev-perl/libnet 3. try some perl with Net::SMTP authenticates at the mail relay Actual Results: Authentication error Expected Results: Authentication ok. mcummings@gentoo.org 2005-11-19 05:57:44 0000 authen-sasl added as optional dep (mime-base64 doesn't specify a version, no need to dep the external ebuild)
