Description Erik Poupaert 2003-09-22 06:56:29 UTC 
net-mail/maildrop obviously depends on the availability of sys-libs/gdbm, in
absense of which its emerge will fail. The net-mail/maildrop ebuild should
recognize this dependency and cause the emergence of gdbm prior to compiling
maildrop itself

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge maildrop in absence of gdbm
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
compilation failure

Expected Results:  
emerge sys-libs/gdbm as a required dependency prior to emerging net-mail/maildrop

It already does depend on >=sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.0.

After having the same problem (checking for db_env_create... no, configure: error: GDBM library not found) the command

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge =maildrop-1.5.3-r1

has helped. This 'll install the currently marked as unstable release 1 of the maildrop-ebuild.

 $ grep gdbm-1.8.0 /usr/portage/net-mail/maildrop/maildrop-*
/usr/portage/net-mail/maildrop/maildrop-1.4.0-r1.ebuild:DEPEND=">=sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.0
/usr/portage/net-mail/maildrop/maildrop-1.5.2.ebuild:   gdbm? ( >=sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.0 )
/usr/portage/net-mail/maildrop/maildrop-1.5.3-r1.ebuild:        gdbm? ( >=sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.0 )
/usr/portage/net-mail/maildrop/maildrop-1.5.3.ebuild:   gdbm? ( >=sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.0 )

1.5.3-r1 is the current unstable, all others are in stable and depend on >=sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.0
