After an emerge --depclean, i checked all libs and bins for broken deps. i saw plenty of lines like : libgnutls.so.7 => not found libgcrypt.so.1 => not found i looked which apps rely on those 2 and i found that evolution require those bins : /usr/bin/evolution /usr/bin/evolution-1.4 /usr/bin/evolution-addressbook-export libs : /usr/lib/libsoup-2.0* /usr/lib/evolution/1.4/* So, on my machine, only evolution seems to need them without having them in its ebuild better put those 2 deps in libsoup deps, as libsoup is also an evolution dep so, net-mail/evolution needs net-libs/libsoup which needs : net-libs/gnutls dev-libs/libgcrypt those 2 are for GPG support into evolution Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
its probably a dep of a dep, we need conclusive proof like libsoup configure lines.

there you go, its optional. Since gnutls only got introduced to the tree recently and soup uses it if its around by the looks of it. Please try to define the problem more precise next time reporter. It could probably go with the ssl flag like gossip or maybe a new flag. The ebuild sais openssl is no option for some reason, does the same thing go for gnutls ? Can you elaborate liquidx ?
basically exactly what foser said. i've now added a patch to 1.99.26's autoconf stuff to respect a --with-ssl=gnutls|openssl so we can force either one. also added a local useflag to enable gnutls support. so by default, it will use openssl instead of gnutls. add the deps to libsoup as well.
