Bug 116355 – cyrus-sasl-2.1.20 has undeclared dependency on nroff/groff

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Dan Callaghan 2005-12-21 23:37:33 UTC]

In its install cyrus-sasl-2.1.20 uses nroff, which isn't available on my system (using uclibc/arm/2.4 profile):

dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.21-r2 merges for me fine without any groff installed.

But for the sake of completeness. vs adding groff (a very problematic pkg) to 
uclibc base we would rather make the pkg in question key off the no{man,doc,info} 
features and skip the extra step of making the manpages.

newer versions should work ... if not, re-open please
