when emerging cryptsetup v 1.0.6 the compilation process fail due to the dependency libgpg-error not being fulfilled 1.Install Gentoo via 2008 beta 2 live cd (xserver, xfce, gdm) 2.Preform emerge sync 3.Preform emerge -avDNu world 4.cryptsetup 1.0.6 compilation fails workaround is to obviously to emerge libgpg-error before preforming a world update
This is an ebuild problem, not a security issue (that's what the Security component is for). Changing Component and assigning to maintainers.

I tried to link libgpg-error.so to libgpgerror.a with a resulting failure of cryptsetup saying a static link was impossible with a dynamic object.
Reassigning back to herd since Benjamin has retired as a Gentoo developer (#89719).
cryptsetup already has DEPEND on dev-libs/libgpg-error post actual build failures
