Evolution 2.0.x depends on mit-krb5 instead of virtual/krb5. This makes impossible to install Evolution when having another kerberos implementation installed (heimdal in my case): ws00 root # emerge -vp evolution These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Expected Results: Evolution should have installed correctly using the installed implementation of Kerberos (heimdal) I have successfully compiled Evolution 2.0.1 using heimdal, although I haven't tested the GSSAPI authentication mechanism. As soon as I have some spare time I'll test Evolution 2.0.2 compilation and operation. There is also a bug regarding this and other packages not using virtual/krb5 (bug#47138). It's sad to see that a fresh ebuild comes out with this problem.
I have successfully compiled and tested Evolution 2.0.2 using heimdal. ws00 root # emerge -vp cyrus-sasl heimdal evolution These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

i've commited the fix. sorry, i wasn't aware of heimdal being an alternative to mit-krb5 and the adoption of virtual/krb5.
