Description Ooblick 2004-10-15 01:37:04 UTC 
As described in the dovecot INSTALL guide (http://www.dovecot.org/doc/INSTALL)
"Dovecot prefers GNUTLS". The dovecot ebuild allows this by including "gnutls" in the USE flags. However attempting to build with this USE flag set causes a failure of compilation.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit /etc/make.conf to include "gnutls" in the USE flags
2. emerge dovecot

Expected Results:  
Successful compilation.

Oddly enough, dovecot insists on downgrading the version of gnutls before
attempting to build. Emerging gnutls on it's own will install
net-libs/gnutls-1.0.17. Emerging dovecot with this installed will first of all
downgrade it to net-libs/gnutls-1.0.4. This might be completely unrelated to the
above behaviour.

Have you tried using .11 by any chance?
Comment 2 Grant Goodyear (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-01 09:59:25 UTC 
It turns out that gnutls support is currently broken and likely to remain so
for quite some time according to upstream:

http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2004-November/005169.html

Removed gnutls support.

Thanks!
