It has postgresql as dependency, but (IMHO) libpq should be enough. This ends up in installing the whole postgresql suite instead of just the client library. Not quite optimal ;-P Seems, in 7.x times there was only one big monolithic postgesql port and the splittof was done later, which has not been reflected in dependencies. (BTW: It seems many packages have this problem ...)

So, now... after deleting over 90 mails from my mailbox... Once you've verified your list against real dependencies of the packages and made sure that the particular ebuild does NOT need postgresql server, then post the reduced list here and reopen this bug. For future, please you common sense when using bugzilla. TIA.

@Enrico: There are a lot of packages with wrong deps. And it's not only because of the libpq/postgresql separation. There was a bug in both of them so postgresql installed pg_config instead of libpq. This bug has been fixed with the latest minor version bumps for 7.3-8.1. After those versions are stabilized, we already planned to do a walkthrough to fix all the deps. So, please let us take care of this.
(In reply to comment #24) OK, you've apparently misread my previous comment. I didn't ask for a list of stuff that (optionally) *depends* on dev-db/postgresql; I've asked you for a list of stuff that *does not need* postgresql but can use libpq instead. Seing that you've listed tons of web-apps there (which have exactly zero use for libpq, but they need either local or remote postgresql server) I won't waste more time checking the rest of your list. Reopen if you are able to produce a useful one; otherwise no point in further bugspam.

On my system I have noticed that mail-mta/postfix, dev-libs/cyrus-sasl and app-mobilephone/gnokii can be built against libpq, without having postgresql emerged. latest amarok ebuild has just been fixed by Diego.
