A new version of softhsm has been released. A version bump of the 1.2.1 ebuild works fine for me, no further changes needed,
Tom, Please do not CC people by yourself. TIA
Thanks for report. BUmped :)
Dependency on unstable botan is unneeded, please see http://www.opendnssec.org/documentation/using-softhsm/ . botan-1.8.11 is stable, this is new enough.
I know stable should be enough, but this is only version i tested, so i preffer to bump the dep to ensure that it will be actually working. I would say better safe than sorry.
