Patch for claws-mail-3.11.1-r1.ebuild to require the static-libs USE flag for net-libs/libetpan

Hi, claws-mail seems to require static libraries of net-libs/libetpan:

checking libpisock/pi-version.h presence... yes
checking for libpisock/pi-version.h... yes
checking for unpack_Address in -lpisock... yes
checking whether to use libetpan... yes
checking for libetpan-config... /usr/bin/libetpan-config
checking libetpan/libetpan.h usability... yes
checking libetpan/libetpan.h presence... yes
checking for libetpan/libetpan.h... yes
checking whether libetpan-config hints compiles and links fine... no
*** Claws Mail requires libetpan 0.57 or newer. See http://www.etpan.org/
*** You can use --disable-libetpan if you don't need IMAP4 and/or NNTP support.
configure: error: libetpan 0.57 not found

Emerging net-libs/libetpan with static libs fixes the problem. Attached the patch the ebuild.

Thanks for your report and the patch but I've successfully built claws-mail against libetpan without enabling the static-libs USE flag. So I suppose you have some other problem. Would you mind attaching the build.log file from a failed claws-mail build to this bug and post the output of

  emerge --info

as well?
