Full Text Bug Listing

The dependencies seem to be screwed up on the new e-build.  To summarize the
problem, you must use mit-krb5 package for either kerberos 4 or kerberos 5
support in fetchmail as it currently stands.  However, the 2.6.5 ebuild wants
to install kth-krb for kerberos support.  Simillarly heimdal doesn't work for
version 5 support.

Besides fixing the dependency it would probably be good to atleast throw
something up to mention that kerberos support for version 4 needs to be the MIT
version and kth-krb must not be installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mit-krb5 heimdal -C
2. emerge kth-krb
3. USE="krb4" emerge fetchmail-2.6.5

-or-

1. emerge mit-krb5 kth-krb -C
2. emerge heimdal
3. USE="kerberos" emerge fetchmail2.6.5

-or-

1. emerge mit-krb5 -C
2. emerge kth-krb heimdal
3. USE="kerberos krb4" emerge fetchmail2.6.5
Actual Results:  
Ebuild aborts durring configure

Expected Results:  
Ebuild should compile properly with kerberos support

Uh, is anyone going to fix this problem, since the heimdal and kth-krb break
this e-build and kth-krb is in the dependncies for the e-build for using
kerberos 4?

Actually, with USE="kerberos krb4" the emerge failed:

checking for Kerberos IV in /usr/kerberos... not found
checking for Kerberos IV in /usr/kerberosIV... not found
checking for Kerberos IV in /usr/athena/usr... not found
configure: error: Kerberos 4 libraries not found

!!! ERROR: net-mail/fetchmail-6.2.5-r2 failed.

Actually when I hacked out the dependencies for kerberos from the e-build and
tried various combinations of the 3 libraries I found that fetchmail will not
build against either the heimdal or kth-krb kerberos packages.  Although I do
not know if mit's or heimdal's kerberos 5 implementation is the default virtual
kerberos package, the heimdal package may also break the build process. 
However, with the krb4 flag will ALWAYS break the build because it requires
kth-krb to be installed, and kth-krb being installed will always break the
build process.

Basically it is possible to build a kerbanized version of fetchmail.  However,
it requires removing the dependencies on kth-krb and heimdal packages, because
fetchmail doesn't properly build against these libraries.

Both the Kerberos and Krb4 flags are functional when using mit-krb5 package for
kerberos v4 and v5.

I use heimdal for kerberos support. Does this mean I wont be able to compile
fetchmail?

Maybe I dont need kerberos support in fetchmail. I will try recompile without
and see.

Yes, it means with the current version you won't be able to compile fetchmail
with kerberos support.  However, since you don't need the support it shouldn't
be an issue.

Why doesn't someone finally fix this?

Would someone commit the last patch please? ;-)

@net-mail herd - what's going on here?! Upstream explicitly says that this
thing
does NOT support heimdal or kth-krb, so could someone finally fix the invalid
dependencies in >=fetchmail-6.2.4 ?

TIA.

fixed in CVS. Not bumped
