Created attachment 394974 [details] gnucash-2.6.4.ebuild From the forums (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1004624.html) some are concerned about gnucash indirectly pulling in dbus through libsecret and gnome-keyring. Looking at the gnucash source, a password storage backend is not strictly required. File src/gnome-utils/gnome-utils/gnc-keyring.c is the only place where libsecret comes in and it looks to fallback to asking the user for the password if libsecret, etc, don't exist. Indeed, not finding libsecret or gnome-keyring does not cause configure to fail. The only issue is that there is no way to forcefully disable it in the configure script. Attached is a modified ebuild for gnucash 2.6.4 as well as a patch to configure.ac. It compiles successfully and some quick checking with ldd shows that it no longer depends on libsecret.so. It also starts fine, but may need a little more testing since I do not personally use the password storage features. I was then able to remove libsecret, gnome-keyring, and a few other small packages.

Please report this to upstream too -> bugzilla.gnome.org (I guess they will prefer to have the confugure flag named as "--enable-libsecret" or similar) Thanks

The upstream bug (at ${URL}) has been fixed and the fix is in 2.6.4 according to the homepage. Maybe the flag should be renamed to libsecret instead of passwd. There are more packages with the libsecret USE flag than with the passwd USE flag. $ equery hasuse -p libsecret * Searching for USE flag libsecret ...
