patch to require app-crypt[smartcard]

Initial self test in Kleopatra looks for the "scdaemon", which is available only if the "smartcard" USE flag is enabled in app-crypt/gnupg 

There seems to be no way to disable the scdaemon check without disabling the other checks altogether, so I propose to require the gnupg "smartcard" USE to be enabled when emerging kleopatra

A screenshot of the error is available here: https://snag.gy/PvYUpf.jpg 
I've attached a possible patch to apply to the ebuild (really trivial, but hope this could be time-saving)

Not everyone has a smartcard...Is the self test fatal?

Comment 2 Enrico Bonato 2016-11-05 15:07:24 UTC

No, the self test is not fatal. Sure it's annoying. 
If there is a way to exclude the scdaemon from the Kleopatra initial tests without disabling everything it would be better

kleopatra:4 is gone, and kleopatra:4 has tests restricted
