popauth.c itself seems to miss a -DGDBM, sorry i'm too busy now to track
down myself where it should come from...

Created attachment 32462 [details, diff]
This seems to fix the problem

The problem seemed to be that the ebuild re-ran configure losing the GDBM
options when ssl was enabled.  I removed the re-run as the --with-openssl is
put in the original configure when the ssl USE flag is set.

Yep, this patch indeed seems to work.

Another thing that should not be forgotten:
chown pop /usr/sbin/popauth
chmod u+s /usr/sbin/popauth

Without this regular users cannot set their own APOP passwords.

[Comment 4 Tuan Van (RETIRED) 2004-07-23 22:18:57 UTC]

fixed in qpopper-4.0.5-r1.

@Rumi:
> chown pop /usr/sbin/popauth
> chmod u+s /usr/sbin/popauth

from postinst:

 * 2) change the owner and permissions of
 *    /usr/sbin/popauth:
 *    # chown pop /usr/sbin/popauth
 *    # chmod u+s /usr/sbin/popauth
