I'm not exactly sure why gnupg rdepends on virtual/mta, maybe taviso can shed some light on the subject.

gpgkeys_mailto (installed as /usr/lib/gnupg/gpgkeys_mailto) is a perl script to work with email-based keyservers, it requires /usr/sbin/sendmail....

When emerge got to the point of installing courier, it did so, but did not remove ssmtp.
Emerge unmerge ssmtp left "net-mail/ssmtp" in the "virtual/mta". Removed this by hand, but it would be nice if this whole thing went a little cleaner.
Perhaps if portage would automatically unmerge virtuals like ssmtp that weren't in
the "world" as soon as a real program (that is to be put in world) replaces it?

update: courier isn't calling for the gnupg dependancy until after courier is
built. that should about wrap it up for this issue.
