Description Sascha Silbe 2006-07-13 05:57:50 UTC

mail-client/mutt-1.5.11-r2 is compiled without SSL support, even though USE flags ssl and gnutls are both set:

I've also tried USE=sasl, made no difference.

Comment 1 Sascha Silbe 2006-07-20 05:09:55 UTC

It seems USE=gnutls is to blame. After rebuilding mutt with USE=-gnutls, it works fine.
Other ebuilds exhibit similar problems with USE=gnutls, see bug #140676 as an example.
Since the description for this USE flag only says "Adds support for net-libs/gnutls", I expected to get exactly the same or even more features than with USE=-gnutls, not less.
So either the evaluation logic should be changed or the description (e.g. "Use GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL for SSL support. Warning: Might break things!").

USE="ssl" and USE="gnutls" are exclusive in mutt. It doesn't break things, it just uses a different library to do SSL stuff.

We could, however, issue a warning... but I definitely see no point.
